Karachi Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) President Muhammad Akram Cheema went missing on the night between Thursday and Friday.

The party said Cheema’s family had no clue about his whereabouts. Reaction to Cheema’s disappearance, PTI Secretary General Omar Ayub tweeted: “Strongly condemn the arrest of Akram Cheema MNA and President PTI Karachi by this Imported Government and its stooges in the shape of Sindh Government.” Ayub also alleged that the Pakistan Peoples Party-led Sindh government wanted to rig the mayoral election and bring a corrupt mayor.
