SHC seeks IG, other response on Hareem Shah’s husband disappearance

Published

  • Social media sensation alleges her husband “kidnapped for unknown reasons”.
  • “Bilal’s being questioned in relation to Hareem’s social media posts.”
  • Hareem Shah requests law enforcement agencies to find her husband. 

The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Sindh Home Department and other authorities concerned have been issued notices on a petition filed against alleged disappearance of Bilal Shah, husband of TikTok star Hareem Shah.

The Sindh High Court (SHC) on Monday directed authorities concerned to submit their replies to the court a day after the TikToker claimed that her husband “disappeared” after he arrived in Karachi from London last week.

In a video statement to Geo News from London, the social media sensation alleged that her husband was “kidnapped for unknown reasons” but Bilal’s family said that he was being questioned in relation to Hareem’s social media posts.

Hareem and Bilal had reached London around two months ago after her court case against fellow TikToker Sundal Khattak.

Bilaal left Lonon for Karachi eight days ago and went missing two days after reaching Karachi from a local busy market, said Hareem.

Sources in Karachi said that Bilal told investigators that Hareem was not directly running the X, formerly known as Twitter account, but someone else was running it with her permission.

Hareem said: “Bilal and I were in London and he went to Pakistan for some work. He was illegally kidnapped by some people in plain clothes. We made a complaint to the local police station but nobody had any idea why he had been picked. We have petitioned the court as well. Bilal has been taken away illegally.”

She further said: “I request the law enforcement agencies to find my husband. He has nothing to do with politics or any activism. He has no previous criminal record. We are worried and going through a tough time.”

A petition was filed in SHC against the “illegal detention” of Bilal allegedly by personnel of law enforcement agencies.

Shahzadi Begum submitted in the petition that her son Syed Bilal had been picked up by personnel of law enforcement agencies on August 27 from the Korangi area and his whereabouts were unknown.

She said the detainee’s wife Hareem was a social media activist and her spouse was arrested because of her political views in social media.

She submitted that her son has nothing to do with any illegal or criminal activities and requested the court to direct the police and other law enforcement agencies to produce the detainee and provide details of cases if any against him.

Hareem, who is now in the UK, was earlier in hot water and faced a Federal Investigation Agency inquiry when she uploaded a video on a social media platform in which she claimed clearing immigration to travel abroad with a large amount of foreign exchange without any check. A case was registered against her by the FIA.

Report: Solar is expected to set new records this year.

Published

By

In 2023, there was an expected 87% increase in growth. This year’s increase is 29% over the previous one, according to the research.

The cheapest source of electricity globally is solar power, and as such, it is expanding quicker than many anticipated, according to Euan Graham, an Ember electricity data analyst.

Ember estimates demonstrate the rapid growth of solar energy: in 2024 alone, new solar capacity will surpass the 540 GW of additional coal power added globally since 2010.

Expected to add 334 GW, or 56 percent of the global total in 2024, China continues to lead the globe in this industry.

According to the survey, it is followed by the US, India, Germany, and Brazil. These five nations will account for 75% of the new solar capacity in 2024.

According to the research, maintaining the sector’s growth required grid capacity and battery storage.

“Providing enough grid capacity and developing battery storage is critical for handling electricity distribution and supporting solar outside of peak sunlight hours as solar becomes more inexpensive and accessible,” the statement stated.

“Solar power might continue to surpass forecasts for the remainder of the decade if these issues are resolved and development is sustained.”

Representatives from bar councils would also be present at the news conference, according to Azam Nazeer Tarar.
