A close relative of a former advisor to the chief minister of Sindh was whisked away by unidentified men in SUVs early Wednesday morning and his whereabouts still remain unknown.
Nawab Ali Leghari, an affluent landlord, was reported to have been kidnapped from the jurisdiction of the Lohi Bher police station in the federal capital.
The unknown persons visited his residence in three vehicles, pretending to be government officials who wanted to ‘check’ his ID card. The kidnappers told guards at his residence to wake him up for validating his identity documents.

He said he and his cousin lived in the Sawan Garden area where the kidnapping took place.
He stated that unidentified persons, claiming to be on official business, had visited their residence and asked the security guards to call Nawab out for verifying the identity papers of ‘the whole family’.
“Nawab was asleep at that time. He was woken up. He came out with his ID card and the visitors took him away.”
