Bilal Shah’s Abduction
On 26 August 2023, Bilal Shah was abducted from Korangi Road in Karachi, Pakistan. On 3 September 2023, his wife, Hareem Shah, posted a video on X (previously known as Twitter) in which she said that Bilal was kidnapped in Pakistan a week ago. She explained that they had been in London, but Bilal had to return to Pakistan for work. Later, one evening after dinner, when he left his house in Karachi’s Qayyumabad Street No. 6, he was abducted by people who arrived in vehicles. In the video, she asked Pakistan’s intelligence agency (ISI) for help. She said,
It has been seven days. Bilal and I were in London. He had to go back to Pakistan for some work. This was evening time when he stepped out after lunch and some cars and people in civil illegally abducted him and took him somewhere. There is no information about Bilal after that, he has been illegally and wrongfully held by some people. I request the ISI (Pakistan’s intelligence agency) to find out about this incident.”
She mentioned that she and Bilal’s family had filed a petition in a Pakistan court, but there hasn’t been any progress on it. She also accused the police of not taking any serious action in the case. In the video, she also expressed her confusion about why the police were not taking any action in the case. She said that Bilal had no political affiliations and no legal cases against him. Despite their efforts to handle the situation through legal means, there has been no progress or breakthrough in the case, according to her video statement. She said,
This is an insult to Pakistan and the law and order situation in Pakistan.”

According to the complaint filed by Bilal Shah’s mother, a 25-second video clip that allegedly featured former Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif walking with a woman led to her son’s disappearance. The video was posted by Hareem Shah on her social media accounts. Hareem Shah has accused Maryam Nawaz, a leader from the PML-N party and the daughter of former Prime Minister of Pakistan Nawaz Sharif, of ordering the abduction of her husband Bilal from Karachi. On 21 August 2023, Hareem shared a video on X of PML-N leader and former prime minister Shehbaz Sharif with a woman walking alongside him. She captioned the video which read,
Shehbaz Sharif’s two-hour-long meeting with his new ‘girlfriend’ at a private hotel in London? First sat in the hotel lobby and drank tea for half an hour and then went to the room. Any shame?”

On 5 September 2023, Bilal Shah returned home after spending five days in detention by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA). During his detention, he was asked questions about the controversial social media posts made by Hareem Shah. In an interview, while talking about the time he spent in detention, he said,
I am back. I was treated with respect by the members of an investigation agency. They asked me questions about the Twitter account running in the name of Hareem, and I told them that I had no idea what this was all about. They checked my phone and everything and found that I had nothing to do with this account.”
He also said that the FIR, which was filed by his family against some unknown men, he would take it back. According to security sources, Bilal informed the investigators that he was unaware of the individual responsible for managing Hareem’s account on the microblogging site ‘X;’ however, he expressed his belief that the account was being operated with Hareem’s consent and approval, and he said that she knew the person behind it. The sources also mentioned their interest in speaking with Hareem about the account. Many prominent figures, including leaders from Jamiat Ulema Islam-Fazl (JUI-F), have lodged complaints with the FIA regarding the alleged defamatory content on the account.
