ISLAMABAD: Opposition leader in the Sindh Assembly and PTI leader Haleem Adil Sheikh has been taken into police custody in Lahore by plain-clothed men, spokesman of MPA said on Wednesday.
The police, however, was still silent on this issue and neither denied nor confirmed the arrest of PTI leader.
Earlier after Tuesday midnight, the MPA’s spokesman claimed that Haleem Adil was taken into custody by men in plain-clothes in Lahore from a private hotel.
Taking to Twitter, the PTI leader’s daughter Ayesha Haleem Adil Sheikh confirmed that “Haleem Adil was picked up from his hotel in Lahore at 3:30 am by men in civilian clothing, we have no idea where he is right now or if he is safe!”
The CCTV footage being shared on social media shows a double-cabin car pulled over outside the hotel and the plain-clothed men entered the hotel and took Sheikh away with them.
According to the spokesman, Sheikh reached Lahore on Tuesday. The PTI leader’s spokesman also did not specify which agency’s personnel detained him.
Former governor of Sindh Imran Ismail has condemned the incident and said the detention is not being revealed anywhere.
“It is feared that criminals in the Sindh government have abducted him,” he asserted.
He also warned that the Sindh government would be responsible if Haleem was harmed in any way whatsoever.
