KARACHI: South Waziristan lawmaker Ali Wazir has been shifted to the metropolis, officials confirmed on Friday, two days after he was arrested by the Peshawar Police.
Wazir has been arrested for allegedly making a hate speech. He was taken into custody two days ago by the Peshawar Police as on instructions by the Karachi Police.
Earlier, on Wednesday, Wazir said he had no idea why he was detained in Peshawar. "I have received pre-arrest bail as well," he had said at the time.
