Punjab interim Information Minister Amir Mir has said that the police have arrested eight “terrorists” allegedly holed up inside PTI Chairman Imran Khan’s residence.

“Fifteen minutes back a meeting has ended. Today in the morning, eight terrorists holed up inside Zaman Park were arrested. They were trying to flee Zaman Park.

“They are being interrogated now to gain information about what is happening inside and who is in there,” he said on Geo News programme ‘Aaj Shahzeb Khanzada Kay Saath’.

Mir claimed that these “terrorists” were the same who had attacked the Lahore Corps Commander’s House, adding that police had traced them through geo-fencing.
