The brother of a sacked provincial minister of the Qaumi Watan Party (QWP) has been arrested on charges of sheltering timber smugglers and abetting other crimes, police said on Wednesday.
The Station House Officer of the City, Maroof Khan, told reporters that Ashiq Hussain alias Kala, the brother of sacked provincial minister Ibrar Hussain Tanoli, was arrested in raid here in Dub area over charges of providing shelter to outlaws and timber smugglers.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Pervez Khattak had sacked Ibrar Hussain Tanoli, the elder brother of Ashiq Hussain, last month over his alleged involvement in timber smuggling along with another minister of the QWP. The SHO said arms and ammunition was also seized from possession of accused during raid.
He claimed that Kala had also threatened SHO Saddar Police Station Matloob Shah of dire consequence if he (Shah) raided dens of his friends involved in crimes. The official said district administration has received several complaints against accused Kala and everything would be made public once the inquiry was completed.
