PTI Chairman Imran Khan, who is on his way to Lahore, has said Islamabad Inspector General of Police (IG) Akbar Nasir tried his best to retain him at the capital’s high court.
“They did not let us leave for three hours, saying that it’s dangerous outside,” the former prime minister said in a video message from a vehicle in which he is travelling to Punjab’s capital.
He added that he told the IG that “we will tell entire Pakistan that you are kidnapping [me], retaining [me] forcibly”.
The PTI chief said the Islamabad police chief let him go under this “pressure”.
Moreover, he continued, “When we came out, the roads were empty. There was no danger of any kind.”
He said he would likely reach Lahore in the next three hours.
