ISLAMABAD: Afghan ambassador to Pakistan Najibullah Alikhil shared the picture of her daughter on Twitter who was kidnapped yesterday and tortured by unknown kidnappers in Islamabad. Afghan Ambassador decried being forced to share a picture of his daughter late Saturday night after another woman’s picture was incorrectly posted to social media after the news of her abduction hit the media.

In a tweet, the ambassador apologised for sharing his daughter’s, Selsela Alikhil, picture but added that he felt compelled to share it after some other woman’s picture was posted incorrectly on social media.

Meanwhile, taking notice of this incident, Prime Minister Imran Khan has directed police to arrest the culprits involved in abduction and torture of daughter of Afghan Ambassador. Addressing a press conference today, Federal Minister for Interior Shaikh Rashid Ahmed today said the culprits will be arrested in a day or two. He said the police have registered an FIR and three taxi drivers were questioned by police who drove Selsela Alikhil to different places in Islamabad.

The ambassador further tweeted that “yesterday my daughter was kidnapped from Islamabad and beaten heavily, but by Allah blessing escaped. She feels better now.” The ambassador added that the “inhuman attack” was being following by the concerned authorities of both countries.
