Shireen Mazari, a former politician of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), said that policemen in plain clothes, including women personnel and paratroopers, took away her daughter Imaan Hazir Mazari.

Shireen Mazari strongly condemned the incident, saying the personnel barged into her house by breaking down the front door of their house. She expressed her dismay over the overnight action by law enforcers, who not only apprehended her daughter but also confiscated security cameras, Imaan's laptop, and phone. 

Furthermore, Shireen Mazari revealed that she asked them about their intent, but they dragged Imaan and proceeded to search every corner of her house. 

She said that Imaan was in her nightdress. They, she continued, disregarded her daughter's request to grant her a moment to change out of her nightwear and whisked her away.

What adds to her concern is the absence of an arrest warrant during the operation. She said that the security personnel did not show her any arrest warrant. 

At the time of the raid, there were merely two women living in the house, she said. 

Shireen Mazari categorised the entire episode as 'state fascism' and a kidnapping rather than a lawful apprehension.
