Punjab Inspector General Dr Usman Anwar told the Lahore High Court (LHC) on Monday that there was no trace of anchorperson Imran Riaz Khan \u2014 whose whereabouts remain unknown since his arrest at Sialkot airport on May 11 \u2014 at any police department across the country.<\/p>\n

The senior official made the remarks as the LHC heard a plea seeking Imran\u2019s recovery. At the previous hearing, the LHC had again directed Punjab police to recover and present the anchorperson. However, police failed to present Imran before the court during today\u2019s hearing.<\/p>\n

Imran was among the individuals apprehended in the wake of the protests that erupted following the arrest of the PTI chairman.<\/p>\n

Later, his lawyer told Dawn.com that a writ petition was filed on May 12 over the anchorperson\u2019s arrest and the LHC directed the attorney general to present him before the court the same day. But, after its orders were not followed, Sialkot police were given a 48-hour deadline to recover Imran.<\/p>\n

A first information report (FIR) pertaining to the matter was registered with Civil Lines police the next day on May 16 on the complaint of the anchorperson\u2019s father, Muhammad Riaz.<\/p>\n

The FIR was registered against \u201cunidentified persons\u201d and police officials for allegedly kidnapping Riaz, invoking Section 365 (kidnapping or abducting with intent secretly and wrongfully to confine person) of the Pakistan Penal Code.<\/p>\n
