Pakistani asylum seeker and a suspect of Berlin attack Naveed Baloch's father has refused to believe that his son could have been involved in the attack.

Naveed's father, Hassan Baloch said his son went to Germany 17 months ago out of frustration and fed up with unemployment.

The Dawn quoted Baloch, as saying that he is yet to speak to his son after his release by the German authorities.

The German authorities had released Naveed due to lack of evidence after arresting him earlier on suspicion of of driving a lorry into a Berlin Christmas market.

Twelve people were killed and dozens other injured after a truck driver ploughed his vehicle into a Christmas market on night.
