An aircraft carrying a banner with the message “Release Imran Khan” was seen flying above Nassau County Cricket Stadium in New York, where India is currently playing against Pakistan in the T20 World Cup match.
The banner, urging the release of former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, was prominently displayed as the aircraft circled the stadium.
It is still unknown who was behind this act and the identity of the person piloting the aircraft.
The video, which has been widely shared on social media platforms, displayed the message during a pause in play between the Asian countries due to rain.
Khan’s party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), also shared the video on its social media handle X, echoing a similar message. “Release Imran Khan,” the PTI wrote.
