Rawalpindi: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Shehryar Afridi was rearrested from outside Adiala jail on Thursday.

According to information, the PTI leader Shehryar Afridi and his brother Farrukh Jamal Afridi were rearrested again by Punjab police not long after they were let out of Adiala jail in Rawalpindi.

The PTI leader's attorney Chaudhry Ishtiaq claimed that although they were released after receiving protected bail, Punjab police had rearrested them and prevented him from speaking to Shehryar Afridi.

Earlier today, The Lahore High Court Rawalpindi bench on Thursday granted bail to Shehryar Afridi, three other PTI leaders.

Lahore High Court Rawalpindi bench declared the detention of four Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders, including Shehryar Khan Afridi, illegal.

The court ruled that Farrukh Afridi, Nadia Hussain, and Shah Jahan must all be released right away.

The PTI leaders' 15-day detention order was declared illegal and unconstitutional by Justice Anwar-ul-Haq Pannu.

The court highlighted that it will not tolerate any unlawful actions taken against individuals.

In the wheat theft case reported to the Bahawalpur police station, the court also granted Shehryar Khan Afridi protective bail.

Additionally, it rejected the government's justification for keeping the Deputy Commissioner and CPO in custody in order to maintain peace and order.
