The veteran politician detained as a result of a police complaint lodged by Raja Inayat-ur-Rehman, the vice chairman of the PPP’s Rawalpindi Division. He claimed that the AML chief had claimed that PPP co-chairman Asif Zardari had received help from a terrorist to kill Imran Khan in a television interview on January 27.
The head of AML pledged to take his arrest to court. He had earlier shared a picture of himself grinning at the Aabpara Police Station on Twitter.
