The spokesman said that Haleem Sheikh had been taken into custody from a hotel in the provincial capital where he had reached a day earlier.
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!”
The CCTV footage being shared on social media shows a double-cabin car pulled over outside the hotel. Plain-clothes men entered the hotel and took Sheikh away with them.
