RAWALPINDI: Awami Muslim League (AML) chief Sheikh Rashid Ahmed was taken into custody by police in Rawalpindi in the wee hours of Thursday.
His nephew and former MNA Rashid Shafiq has confirmed reports of Sheikh Rashid arrest.
Rashid Shafiq said that a heavy contingent reached the residence of AML chief Sheikh Rashid located in a private housing society of Rawalpindi and arrested him. He also alleged that police have not informed the family in which case Sheikh Rashid has been taken into custody.
Police have shifted Sheikh Rashid to Abpara Police Station after the arrest where an FIR (First Information Report) was registered against him on complaint of Raja Inayat Rehman, the vice president of PPP’s Rawalpindi division for accusing former president Asif Ali Zardari of plotting the assassination of PTI chief Imran Khan.
