KP Minister Fazal Shakoor Detained in Peshawar; Gunfire Reportedly Targeted Vehicle Tyres

PESHAWAR — Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provincial minister Fazal Shakoor Khan was reportedly detained in Peshawar on Monday, with footage circulating online appearing to show security personnel intercepting his vehicle.

According to accounts accompanying the footage, shots were also fired at the vehicle’s tyres during the incident. The circumstances leading to the detention, the legal basis for the action and the minister’s current status were not immediately clear.

Fazal Shakoor is a member of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly from PK-65 Charsadda-IV and serves as provincial minister for Public Health Engineering, according to official provincial records. �

The incident comes amid political tensions involving the provincial government, led by Chief Minister Sohail Afridi. Claims that the police action represented institutional defiance of the provincial government, or reflected wider federal-provincial tensions, remain political interpretations rather than independently established facts.

Independent verification of the circumstances surrounding the detention and reported firing is pending.
