The arrested Malaysian national was shifted to the airport police station for further interrogation by intelligence agencies.
Malaysia’s police chief Mohamad Fuzi Harun told The Star Online that Pakistani security agencies had informed him of the arrest.
“The suspect is still being detained in Pakistan. We will work closely with our counterparts there. We will also request to Pakistan to deport him here so the police can arrest and investigate him but that will take time as we have to follow procedures,” said Tan Sri Fuzi.
