The Lytton Road Police registered a case of abduction late on Wednesday against cricketer Imran Nazir and two others on a complaint by one Sohail, resident of Samanabad. Sohail told Pakistan Today that he was on way to some place in his car and had stopped at the Mozang Chowk signal when a young man approached his car. He said an armed man asked him to come out of the car and sit in a car bearing registration number LE-5331 parked a few yards away. He said a traffic warden noticed the obstruction in traffic flow caused by the argument and came closer to the vehicle.
Sohail said the warden ordered him and the driver of the other car to move the cars along the road side.
Sohail said he then came to know that cricketer Imran Nazir was driving the other car, but before the traffic warden could question Nazir and his two accomplices, they drove off. He said wardens Shahzad and Imran followed him and managed to intercept him near the LOS Stop, but Nazir escaped after hitting one of the traffic wardens’ motorcycles. Sohail claimed he had no outstanding issue with Nazir and did not know the reason for the cricketer’s act. Meanwhile, Nazir told Pakistan Today that he got into a fight with a man at the Mozang Chowk signal, and that man had managed to get an FIR registered against him to get even.
