Sher urged the missing person's fans and followers to pray for the recovery of the YouTuber.

"Do spread the word as it will mean a lot to our Family," he added.

The abduction came just a few days after Khosa released a parody song Bill Bill Pakistan.

In the song, Khosa criticised Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif-led government for burdening the masses with exorbitant power bills and taxes.

The social media influencer, who is allegedly a supporter of PTI founder Imran Khan, usually makes skits targeting the government's policies.
