KP CM claims he was 'abducted' by authorities in Lahore; Punjab minister denies allegations

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi on Monday claimed he was “abducted” by authorities in Lahore and later “thrown” by the roadside, a claim denied by Punjab Information Minister.

“We were abducted, and then, when they received pressure from somewhere, they threw me by the roadside without security and left,” Afridi claimed.

Afridi further alleged that there was a “conspiracy to abduct the chief minister of a province”, adding that he had earlier warned that “they want to divide the country”.

However, Punjab Information Minister Azma Bokhari claimed that the KP chief minister had boarded a police vehicle of his own accord.
