Taking to Twitter, the PTI leader’s daughter confirmed that “He [Haleem Adil Sheikh] was picked up from his hotel in Lahore at 3:30 am by men in civilian clothing, we have no idea where he is right now or if he is safe!”
Ayesha Haleem said that she has already informed that her father’s life is in danger. She had also written letters to other senior officials including the Chief Justice of Pakistan after receiving threats.
