Alleged abduction comes after sister Aleema Khan's asset revelations, as Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf calls for protests.
## Lead
Imran Khan's nephew was abducted from the Pakistani politician's sister's home in what the PTI claims was a raid by armed men in plain clothes, Pakistani media reports.
## Background
The nephew, Shahrez Khan, was taken away by the men who allegedly arrived in Lahore in three vehicles. The incident happened at around 3 a.m. local time on Thursday at the home of Khan's sister, Aleema Khan. She is currently being questioned by the country's asset-recovery unit.
## Reaction
The incident comes amid a backlash against the former prime minister and his party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), following the revelation of the undeclared wealth of Aleema Khan.
## Status
PTI has called for protests later on Thursday. Khan's niece, Dr. Uzma Umar, who is also Khan's personal physician, was briefly detained by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) on Wednesday, according to a local PTI leader.
## Conclusion
The revelation of Khan's family members' wealth has led to the politician's supporters to take to social media, accusing the government of political victimization. The PTI has also criticized the government, led by Khan's rival, Shahbaz Sharif, of using "state machinery and institutions to target the opposition." The party says it will not remain silent against the "reign of torture and tyranny." The developing story is a shocking turn of events, with the fate of Khan's nephew and the investigation into his aunt's assets yet to be resolved.
