My Brother Pankaj Kumar, 31 yr, was kidnapped/abducted from his ship by pirates of Gabon. 

Pankaj Kumar, is working in merchant navy as a second engineer. His ship M/V TAMPEN,  was attacked by sea pirates on 05 September around 01:00 AM in Gabon, a country in central Africa. Two crew members (one chief officer and chief cook) were shot injured by pirates while they threw my brother Pankaj Kumar away from ship. Pankaj belong to Village Chaunta in Gurdaspur district of Punjab,

According to his company representatives, he is kidnapped by the pirates. We are calling company everyday but we are not getting satisfactory response now. We have sent email to ministry of external affairs but have not received any official / written response yet. We also brought the matter into notice of MP of Gurdaspur, Sunny Deol.

The ship is owned by Prince Marine Transport Service Pvt Ltd, Mumbai and the sailors were provided by Proactive Ship Management.

Pankaj was married just 2 years back, his father and mother are in inconsolable condition. His wife is crying all the time. He is the one around whom the whole family revolves. We want Government of India and the Shipping Company to make all possible efforts to search and bring Pankaj back.
