The PTI has claimed that president of the party’s Sindh chapter Ali Haider Zaidi has been “abducted” in Karachi.

Separately, South SSP Asad Raza told Dawn.com that 23 PTI workers were arrested in Karachi, but he did not confirm whether Zaidi was among them.

He said the party workers were trying to go towards the “Red Zone” to stage a protest outside sensitive installations near the FTC flyover when police stopped them on Tuesday evening.

SSP Raza claimed that the workers attacked police with stones, as a result of which three police officers were injured.

“Police retaliated by tear gas shelling and arrested 23 workers while others were dispersed,” he said.
