The Sindh High Court (SHC) on Tuesday issued notices to senior federal and provincial government officials on a petition pertaining to the disappearance of Muhammad Arshad Siddiqui, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's (PTI) social media head in Karachi.
Justice Naimatullah Phulpoto, who headed the two-member bench hearing the case, inquired if anyone had witnessed Siddiqui's abduction.
The petitioner's counsel said that nobody had seen his client being kidnapped.
The court issued notices and summoned a reply from the federal and provincial governments through the provincial chief secretary, the Rangers director general, the Sindh police chief, Special Investigation Unit's in-charge, CTD, East SSP, and the SHO Baloch Colony by April 6.
The petition filed by Siddiqui's brother states that his brother left home on March 26 (Sunday) for some work but did not come back. The case was reported to the police but they weren't cooperating.
