PTI leader claims Sanam Javed ‘abducted’ from Peshawar

PESHAWAR: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Secretary Information Sheikh Waqas Akram has claimed that party leader Sanam Javed has been picked up from Peshawar.

According to Sheikh Waqas, the incident took place on one of Peshawar’s busy roads, where two vehicles intercepted Sanam Javed’s car, adding the individuals reportedly dragged her out of the vehicle in front of her companions and forced her into their own cars before speeding away.

Waqas termed the incident it an act of abduction and demanded her immediate release. He said such actions are part of a continuing campaign of political victimization against PTI leaders and workers. On the other hand, PTI leadership and supporters on social media asked how such an incident could happen under a PTI-led government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, with many demanding Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur personally intervene to ensure her safe recovery and bring those responsible to justice.
