Karachi YouTuber allegedly abducted by unknown men

A Karachi-based YouTuber, Syed Ibad, was allegedly abducted by unidentified individuals shortly after leaving the Sindh High Court, according to sources.

Ibad had reportedly been embroiled in a legal dispute with two former employees of his father. The two men had filed a murder case against him, for which he had been granted bail.

In his vlog, Ibad shared details of his long-standing conflict with the two men, Khalid Hussain and Abid Hussain, who had worked for his family since his childhood.

According to him, his father had trusted these employees with sensitive property documentation and financial matters. However, after his father fell seriously ill and could no longer manage his affairs, Ibad became actively involved, and claimed he uncovered evidence of fraud and financial exploitation.

He alleged that the two men were embezzling money, making fake payments on his father's behalf, and attempting to illegally sell a plot of land by falsely claiming it as their own.

When Ibad resisted and took legal action, the relationship soured further.

Ibad also revealed that the two men filed petitions against him, all of which were dismissed by the court.

Recently, one of them filed an FIR accusing Ibad of attempting to murder his brother. Ibad denied the charge and claimed he had a solid alibi, he was at a barbecue party and even filmed a vlog on that day, which he said proved the allegation was fabricated.

Ibad was granted bail until June 24, after which the court extended it to August 21. Following a recent court appearance, while leaving the Sindh High Court with his companions, he was allegedly forcibly taken away by men in a black police mobile with tinted windows and no number plate.

His family immediately tried to locate him by contacting police stations, but he was not found in custody. They later filed a complaint at the Preedy Police Station for his abduction.

The YouTuber had previously named the two employees as being responsible if anything were to happen to him or his family.
