The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) apprehended Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Abdul Basit Chaudhry at the Torkham border on Friday as he attempted to flee to Afghanistan.
According to the FIA, Basit was attempting to flee through the Pak-Afghan border crossing. Basit is the son of Rawalpindi PTI MPA Chaudhary Amjad Mehmood.
The FIA had received information that Basit was attempting to flee the country despite the fact that his name was on the Exit Control List (ECL). The accused had secured travel documents for Europe, with the intention of travelling from Afghanistan to Europe.
