Aleema Khanum’s son ‘kidnapped’ from Lahore home, PTI alleges

Lahore: The PTI on Thursday alleged that “men in plain clothes abducted” the son of Aleema Khanum, the sister of party founder and ex-premier Imran Khan.

PTI Lawyer Rana Mudassar Umar said that Aleema’s son, Shahrez Khan, was “kidnapped” from his home in Lahore.

“People dressed in plain clothes entered the house and took Aleema Khan’s son with them,” he claimed. “No case has been registered against Shahrez, nor is he related to politics.”

Mudassar said that no information had been given about Shahrez’s whereabouts and that he would approach the Lahore High Court for his recovery.

When approached for comment, Lahore Police said they were unaware of the matter and would act only after receiving a complaint.

A post from the PTI’s official X account said that Aleema’s home, from where Shahrez was taken, was “attacked by individuals in plain clothes”.

“Her son Shahrez has been abducted, family members were harassed and staff were beaten,” the post alleged, calling the incident “fascism” and adding that Shahrez must be recovered immediately.
