Lazaro Mambosasa, Dar es Salaam's police commander said, 'He was tied legs, hands and face, therefore, he could not see. He could not identify the abductors throughout the period of captivity,' Mambosasa said, adding that Dewji was unharmed apart from bruises on his hands and feet where they were tied.
