William Charles, a US functionary arrested at Peshawar airport on Tuesday, has been handed over to his country’s consulate.
Earlier, Airport Security Force Pakistan (ASF) had arrested the US citizen at Peshawar airport, and recovered 19 bullets of a 17-9mm pistol from his possession.
He was arrested when boarding Islamabad-bound flight from Peshawar airport. The man was later identified as a US functionary.
Police, however, handed him over to the US consulate before keeping him in custody for few hours.
