Kashif Ali Chaudhry, the vice president of PML-N lawyer wing was allegedly abducted by unidentified persons from Thokar Niaz Baig on Sunday.
According to the complaint filed by his brother Nazim Hussain at the Hanjarwal Police Station, Kashif was on his way to visit Sarshar Town market to purchase cable wire when unidentified persons on two vehicles arrived at the spot and stopped him.
It further states that the suspects overpowered Advocate Chaudhry and pushed him into a vehicle and fled away.
Notably, police received the complaint for registration of a case and early recovery of the lawyer and started investigation.
However, a CCTV footage circulating on social media showed that masked men in civvies were holding Mr Chaudhry. They later shifted him into a vehicle. Reports suggested that Kashif Chaudhry had chanted slogans against institutions during former prime minister Nawaz Sharif’s hearing in accountability court three days ago.
A DSP-rank officer is probing into the incident, as per the sources.
