LAHORE:
On Thursday Pakistan Tehreek-E-Insaf (PTI) alleged that men in plains assaulted the residence of Lahore de Aleema Khan, sister of former prime minister Imran Khan, and kidnapped his son, Shahrez Khan, in what the opposition party described as an “act of inexpensive intimidation.”
According to PTI leaders, the raid occurred on Wednesday night when a group of unidentified individuals entered the house of Aleem Khan by force. The party officials said that the home personnel were attacked, the members of the harassed family and Shahrez were taken from their room in front of their children.
The PTI Central Information Department issued a statement by calling the episode “the height of the massacre and oppression”, adding that “even domestic workers were subjected to brutal violence.”
Rana Mudassar Umar, PTI’s lawyer, told the media that Shahrez had no political affiliations and did not face registered cases. He added that the party would ask the Superior Court of Lahore (LHC) for immediate recovery.
“People dressed in civilian entered the house and took the son of Aleema Khan with them,” he said. “No case has been registered against him, nor is it related to politics,” he said.
The game alleged that the incident occurred only one day after Shahrez was prevented from traveling abroad with his wife, when he was arrested at Lahore airport and “illegally unloading” from a flight.
