Sohail Afridi’s brother approaches Peshawar High Court to trace his whereabouts

Muhammad Amir, the brother of former Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi, filed a petition in the Peshawar High Court on Tuesday to trace his brother's whereabouts. On October 11, the federal government imposed emergency and governor's rule in the province, following tensions between the PML-N-led federal government and the PTI-led KP government.

The petition claims that Sohail Afridi, along with some of his cabinet ministers and party leaders, was abducted on the same day. The brother of the detained individual, through senior counsel Bashir Khan Wazir, sought multiple directives to trace and recover his brother, produce him before the high court, and examine the legality of his detention.

The petition requested the police officer present at the time, the CCPO, to submit a detailed report on the incident, CCTV footage, security logs, and other relevant material pertaining to the abduction.
