A Mangosuthu University of Technology (MUT) lecturer who was reported missing earlier this week was allegedly abducted by three men after a video of the incident emerged.
Clanlall Dwarika, 61, also known as Shan, was allegedly abducted near Maynard Road in Sea Cow Lake in Durban on Sunday at about 4pm.
Reaction Unit South Africa (Rusa) said Dwarika, a resident of Verulam, had left his home on Sunday to conduct maintenance at a property he rented out on Maynard Road.
"It has been confirmed he was in the process of conducting the maintenance but left to purchase a drill. He has not been located since. His cellphone is switched off, and attempts to contact him are unsuccessful," said Rusa spokesperson Prem Balram.
"He was driving a black Honda CRV with registration NJ 21395."
CCTV footage captured in the area emerged on Tuesday and shows three men allegedly confronting Dwarika before forcing him into the rear seat of his vehicle.
