Arrested PTI leaders were presented before the court for their demands, however the court ordered to release them.

The court expressed strong displeasure over their detention, questioning, “Why were they arrested when the High Court had already approved their bail?”

On Thursday, the Rawalpindi police arrested Ayub, Basharat and Ahmed Chattha outside Adiala jail after charges were filed against them and other suspects, including the PTI founder in the GHQ attack case.
