During a meeting in Lahore headed by Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif, the CM asked the Multan regional police officer (RPO) to present a report on the kidnapping.

Check posts have been set up at exit and entry points of the city and security forces are checking number plates of vehicles before letting them through.

Police had tracked the victim's mobile phone to the Aziz Hotel Chowk at the time of the kidnapping. Ten minutes after that the phone was tracked to the Civil Hospital Chowk and then to Ghanta Ghar, after which it was switched off.

The reason for the kidnapping could not be ascertained at this time.
