Inspector General of Police (IGP) Islamabad Dr Akbar Nasir Khan said the persons who were seen in a video as threatening to attack the Parliament House had been arrested with the assistance of Rawalpindi Police and intelligence agencies.
The accused, who claimed their association with the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan in the video circulating on the social media, were identified as Daneyal son of Gul Ameen from Sawabi and Zubair son of Shamul Rehman from Peshawar, he added.
The first information reports, he said, had been lodged against the accused, who were on a remand for seven days.
The IGP said the accused persons made the video only to spread terror. “Nobody will be allowed to spread fear and terror either in cyber or physical space as stern action will be taken against those who will dare to disturb the peace,” he added.
The terrorists did not belong to any area or province as all of them were enemy of peace, he remarked.
