SHEIKHUPURA: Rana Jamil Hasan alias Gudo Khan, an MPA of the PML-N, was kidnapped near Sheikhupura on the motorway on Saturday.

The member of the Punjab Assembly and his wife were going to Islamabad from his hometown Bucheki when people in two cars stopped his vehicle and dragged him out.

They asked the MPA’s wife to arrange Rs50 million within three days for his release and took him away.

Rana Jamil was elected from PP-174 in last year’s general elections.

A strike was observed in Nankana and Bucheki after the kidnapping.

The chief minister ordered the provincial police chief to recover the legislator within 24 hours.
