In a series of posts on X, Kasim alleged that his aunts Dr Uzma and Noreen, along with cousins Shershah and Shahrez, were taken from their homes after authorities allegedly entered the properties and forced them into vehicles. The claims could not be independently verified.
“This is a disgrace. Now my Aunts Dr. Uzma and Noureen, along with my cousins Shershah and Shahrez have now been abducted as well,” Kasim said.
“They have broken into my aunties and cousins houses and forced them into vehicles with no explanation. No reasons for arrest have been stated. No news has been released as to where they have been taken,” he alleged.
Kasim described the alleged detentions as “criminal behaviour” and called for international attention to the matter.
