Earlier, Mr. Nasir's wife, Mansha Pasha, an actress, shared a video message stating that he was "picked up" by a group of unidentified individuals on Thursday night. According to Pasha, they were returning home after dinner when their car was stopped by a white Vigo vehicle. Approximately 15 armed individuals forcefully took her husband away.
Pasha appealed to the public, requesting them to raise their voices and pray for her husband's swift return. The incident has caused shock and concern among numerous celebrities, who are calling for the immediate release of the rights activist.
