PESHAWAR: The media watchdog organisation Freedom Network (FN) has demanded a judicial inquiry into reports that men in police uniforms kidnapped, tortured and detained investigative journalist Ali K Chishti.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat Chishti has described is shocking that the Karachi police could kidnap a journalist to deliver him to the Boss,\u201d FN said.<\/p>\n

Ali Chishti, who writes for Pakistani and foreign publications on security issues, went on air on Friday night to describe his ordeal after being picked up from Karachi\u2019s PECHS area along with his driver on August 30 at around 8pm by \u201cuniformed personnel\u201d of the Karachi police.<\/p>\n

\u201cUpon enquiry, I was told that I am not being kidnapped but someone wanted to see me; when I asked who?\u201d They said \u201cBoss,\u201d Chishti said.<\/p>\n

\u201cChishti\u2019s kidnapping is the second case after journalist Abdul Razki Baloch\u2019s body was found with signs of torture on August 21 in Karachi. Anything less than a thorough investigation under the supervision of a Sindh High Court judge will not take us to facts,\u201d FN demanded of the Sindh chief minister. Meanwhile, Senator Saeed Ghani of the Pakistan People\u2019s Party has contacted Chishti and promised an investigation.<\/p>\n
