SRINAGAR: Days after her close relation was arrested in Pakistan, Dukhatarn-e-Millat chief Asiya Andrabi Tuesday said that there were scores of agencies working there and it wasnt clear who has picked up her nephew.
The boy arrested is my nephew and is a Pakistani national. My sister and brother have gone to Pakistan in 90s and since then I have never seen these kids, Andrabi told Srinagar based KNS on Tuesday. She said that soon after the arrest many people called her up and showed their support. Asiya Andrabi also said that even the higher officials in the Pakistani establishment were unaware of the arrest which has made the affair more intriguing.
The kid they have arrested is a 12th standard student and had to appear in the entrance test. The sleuths who arrested the kid then dropped at the residence of my nephew and locked my sister in her room before they searched the house, Andrabi said.
She said that it was impossible to imagine that her relatives would work against the interests of Pakistan.
Earlier the leading Pakistani daily Dawn had published a story claiming that the relative of Asiya Andrabi, Mohammad Shoaib was arrested in the outskirts of Islamabad on weakened by Federal Police with arms and ammunition . According to the report, the authorities in the Islamabad were investigating the bank accounts and other details of the arrestee and his other relative Syed Irtiqaz Nabi Geelani who, the report said, was on the run.
