A “suspicious” man was arrested from Pakistan Secretariat near the Prime Minister’s House in Islamabad, according to Islamabad Police.

“The suspicious person was detained from near the wall adjacent to the Pak Secretariat and the Prime Minister’s House,” he added.

The spokesperson said the individual’s medical tests were being conducted to ascertain his mental health.

The CCTV footage showed the man walking on the main road outside the Pak Secretariat Blocks A, B, C, and D.
