Major (r) Adil Raja, who had reportedly gone missing from Islamabad, has “safely” reached his family in the United Kingdom.
In a tweet on Thursday, he sad: “There is a lot to say, but everything will be spoken about in time. After this, if my mother and loved ones are hurt even slightly, I won’t hold back.”
He also shared a copy of his complaint registered with the Punjab Police stating he was given “life threats”. According to the copy, the complaint was registered on April 19.
The news about the alleged disappearance of Raja, who is the former spokesman of the Pakistan Ex-Serviceman Society (PESS), first surfaced on Twitter on Wednesday when a woman, Sabine Kayani, who said she was his wife, tweeted she was unable to establish contact with him and sought people’s help to trace his whereabouts.
Social media has been abuzz over the “disappearance” of the former army man since then.
In one of her tweets yesterday, Kayani said some men claiming to be from the FIA raided the house of her mother-in-law while Raja was not there. “Her house is hardly 100 metres away from the Army house. Shortly after this we lost contact with my husband,” she had said.
Her tweet also included a video that showed armed men standing on a staircase, purportedly outside an apartment.
On Thursday afternoon, Kayani confirmed she had established contact with her husband, saying he is “fine and free”. She also thanked people for their support.
