Glasgow:The kidnapping of Sindh Inspector General of Police (IGP) and later arrest of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Mohammad Safdar Awan in Karachi might lead to Prime Minister Imran Khan's Watergate scandal as "IG police is under federal government", said a Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) activist.
Taking to Twitter, Amjad Ayub Mirza said, "IG Sindh kidnapped @ 4 am. Allegedly forced 2 take action against Nawaz Sharif's son-in-law. Army chief Bajwa orders enquiry. Senior police officers in Sindh refuse 2 work. This single incident cud become Khan's Watergate since IG police is under federal government."

On early Monday, the police had arrested Safdar Awan, from the hotel they were staying in Karachi, hours after the PML-N vice-president had lashed out at Prime Minister Imran Khan and the government at second power show of 11-party opposition alliance People's Democratic Movement (PDM), which was attended by thousands of people.
"Police broke my room door at the hotel I was staying at in Karachi and arrested Capt. Safdar," Maryam tweeted early Monday.
