IHC CJ likens Islamabad situation to Karachi due to 'extortion chits'

Islamabad High Court (IHC) Chief Justice Aamer Farooq on Monday directed the police to hold a thorough investigation of the abduction of Intezar Panjutha, a lawyer of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan, after some days, keeping in view his current state of mind.

Panjutha was found distressed and trussed-up in a car in Attock on Saturday night, days after his disappearance from the federal capital. The alleged kidnappers fled, leaving behind their vehicle with the lawyer in it, upon being intercepted by the police and following intense exchange of fire.
