In a major breach of security, an Afghan man intruded into the official residence of Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Saturday. According to a Pakistani English daily, the man was later arrested and handed over to the Counter Terrorism Department for interrogation.

The security personnel deputed at the PM House reportedly didn't know from where did the suspect enter, The News International newspaper reported.

"The suspect was immediately taken into custody by the Counter-Terrorism Department of the Islamabad Police and has been shifted to an unknown place," the report said, quoting sources.
