Earlier, Lahore High Court (LHC) sought replies from Punjab police and Superintendent Jail regarding the re-arrest of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Pervaiz Elahi.
During the hearing, the Chief Police Officer (CPO) of Rawalpindi sought an apology from the court stating that, “We want the apology from the court to be accepted.”
It is worth mentioning here that just one day ago, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) issued a suspension of PTI President’s detention under the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) Ordinance, mandating his immediate release.
But shortly after his release from the police custody, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) president Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi re-arrested by the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) in the judicial complex attack case.
The case was registered against PTI president at CTD police station on September 3 and he will be presented before the ATC today [Wednesday].
