ISLAMABAD: Pakistani police on Thursday arrested former interior minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed from his home for accusing ex-president Asif Ali Zardari of plotting to kill former prime minister Imran Khan. Confirming the incident, his nephew Sheikh Rashid Shafique said that the AML chief was arrested from his home in Islamabad. He was arrested by Islamabad police in the early hours of Thursday. He was arrested on a police complaint filed by Raja Inayat-ur-Rehman, wherein he said that the AML chief, in a television interview on January 27, alleged that Zardari got the assistance of some terrorists to kill Khan. The FIR filed against the AML leader claimed that his statement was made as part of a conspiracy to defame the former president and create a permanent threat to his family.
