Pakistani cricket journalist Sanaullah Khan has said that his brother has been kidnapped from Lahore, prompting him to call on senior government officials to intervene and help locate him.
He said that his brother, Amanullah Khan, was picked up by unknown men while on his way to collect children from their school in the Park View Society area of Lahore at around 1 pm on Wednesday.
In a video posted on social media, Sanaullah addressed Prime Minister (PM) Shehbaz Sharif and Chief Minister (CM) of Punjab Maryam Nawaz, urging them to step in.
“In this video, I will be making a request to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz. Six hours before this video was shot, my brother was kidnapped from the Park View Society in Lahore at around 1 PM. We have registered a complaint with the police. I am, by chance, in Australia and why am I in Australia? There are some problems that I do not want to discuss in this video,” he stated.
Sanaullah added that despite filing a police complaint, little progress had been made. “Six hours have passed but nothing major has been traced so far. I would also request IG of Punjab Police to take quick action so that my brother can be recovered,” he said.
Sanaullah, who is known for his outspoken views on Pakistan cricket administration, also hinted that his presence in Australia may be linked to safety concerns.
There has been no official response from the authorities on the matter at the time of filing this story.
