Aleema Khan's son abducted after Lahore raid, claims PTI leader

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Secretary General Salman Akram Raja has claimed that the residence of Aleema Khanum, sister of former prime minister Imran Khan, was attacked late Thursday.

In a post on X, Raja alleged that Aleema Khan’s son, Shahrez, was abducted by men in plain clothes during the incident.

No official confirmation of the alleged abduction has yet been issued by police or government authorities.

PTI Information Secretary Sheikh Waqqas Akram wrote on X: “During an attack, people dressed in plain clothes abducted the son of Aleema Khan, the sister of Mr Imran Khan, from her home.

“We strongly condemn this thuggery and oppression. We demand from the current government and the Chief Justice that her son be immediately recovered and safely returned to her,” he added.

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

Born in Lahore to Aleema, Shahrez completed his schooling at Aitchison College before heading to Oxford University for his MBA. At present, he works as the regional head at Simba Global, a big linen supplier based in Australia and is also a triathlete.
