After that he is in jail for about one and half month and is not being allowed to appear in his board exams,” she added.

She also said that when the NIA raided their home, Arsalan was not present at home and his father called him back and asked him to co-operate with the agency.

Arsalan came to home and went to police station for questioning along with his father. “So why is police saying that he was arrested from his home when he was not present at his home at the time of the raid,” she questioned.
