Party says founder's family members placed in armoured vehicle, taken to undisclosed location

PTI says more of Imran's sisters, family detained by police in Lahore

The Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) has alleged that additional members of former Prime Minister Imran Khan's family were detained, according to sources. This follows the arrest of Imran Khan's sister, Aleema Khan, who was placed under 30-day detention in Lahore on Sunday. The party's Central Information Secretary, Sheikh Waqas Akram, claimed that both of Imran's sisters, Dr Uzma Khan and Noreen Niazi, along with their children and Aleema Khan's sons, were arrested and placed in an armored vehicle, being taken to an undisclosed location.

PTI condemned the arrests as a "blatant abuse of authority, a violation of fundamental rights, and an act of political victimization." Imran Khan's son, Kasim Khan, also alleged that his aunt Uzma and cousins Noreen had been abducted, stating that authorities had entered their homes without explanation and forced them into vehicles.
