Worrying news coming in that TTP's Ehsan Ullah Ehsan has escaped. In no way can this be a result of incompetence. @OfficialDGISPR should confirm or deny this news. We demand a thorough investigation into this incident. No one is listening to our warnings about regrouping Taliban. https://t.co/7Hab5UcPBE — Mohsin Dawar (@mjdawar) February 6, 2020 ×
