Ahmed was taken into custody on Tuesday evening, hours after he addressed a press conference condemning the increasing number of fatal road accidents in Karachi.
Earlier in the day, Ahmed voiced concern over the alarming rise in casualties caused by dumper trucks, stating that 92 lives had been lost in just 40 days. He welcomed the Sindh government’s recent decision to restrict the entry of heavy vehicles into the city during daylight hours.
