Earlier, the newly-appointed PTI Secretary-General and former federal minister Omar Ayub said in a tweet that the Islamabad Police from Shalimar Police Station raided his house again “without a search warrant” and “stole” his parked Toyota Hilux Twin Cabin Model 2011.
“Islamabad Police are indulging in illegal searches & now vehicle thefts. Members of the judiciary, civil servants & diplomats should take care of their vehicles as the police have resorted to stealing vehicles to top up their salaries in these super high inflationary times!! Where should I register an FIR for my stolen vehicle? Do I ask the thieves to catch the thieves?”
Similarly, former adviser to prime minister on accountability Mirza Shahzad Akbar, in a tweet, said: “Everyone knows I am not in country but Rangers and Police (25-30 armed) have attacked my house in Islamabad at 1 am, broken doors and have kidnapped my younger brother.”
