An Afghan national has been arrested while he was suspiciously roaming along the route of the Zuljinnah procession taken out from Nisar Haveli, said Rang Mahal police on Saturday.
"Oh, I-I-I-I-I love a para-a-a-a-de..."
"Stick 'em up!"
They said Abbas, an Afghan national, had been locked up in the police station because of his suspicious movement along the procession route.
"Oboy! Oboy! I wonder if they're gonna have elephants!"
Superintendent of police (Security) Hussain Habib Imtiaz denied that any Afghan had been arrested.
"Nope. Nope. Never happened."
Rang Mahal Station House Officer Nauman Khan, however, confirmed the arrest and said that during the initial investigation, the suspect claimed that he had only come to see the procession.
"We don't get many parades back home in Balkh, y'know..."
Sources in the police also said that at least four people from the procession had been arrested, but no arrests have been has officially confirmed.
"Here, you people! Step away from the float witcher hands up! You, too, Fatty!""

#2  What a clever man that Afghan was -- singing one of the old American musical classics, in English no less!

A very good thing about monitors.
