The Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Thursday clarified that the individual, arrested in Delaware state of the US and charged with illegally possessing a machinegun, is not Pakistani but an Afghan national. The ministry issued the statement in response to a wave of propaganda by Indian media outlets that falsely tried to link the arrested man to Pakistan. The man, identified as Luqmaan Khan, 25, hailed from Wilmington, was charged this week with illegally possessing a machine gun, after police and federal agents uncovered a cache of weapons and ammunition from his car on November 24, the US Attorney’s Office said.
