He said “he had himself offered his arrest as we had neither offered resistance and nor will do it. I have come to know in the parliament that a heavy contingent of police have been deployed outside the parliament,” he said, adding that police arrested him and Marwat outside the Parliament House gate.
Police arrested Shoaib Shaheen from his office and then later 10 PTI MNAs were arrested from inside the parliament by masked men.
