PTI President Pervaiz Elahi re-arrested in terrorism case

Lahore: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) President Pervaiz Elahi was re-arrested in a terrorism case shortly after the Lahore court discharged him in Master Plan case.

A day after being detained by the ACE, Elahi was today presented before the on-call court magistrate.

According to sources, Elahi will be relocated from Lahore to Adiala jail in the evening.

Pervaiz Elahi was arrested on Saturday by the Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE) Punjab, a day after the Federal Judicial Complex (FJC) attack case's ATC had granted him bail.

The ACE squad swiftly apprehended the former Punjab chief minister again after his release from Adiala prison.

Elahi was produced before the judicial complex for transitory remand. Duty Judge Shahrukh Arjumand heard the case and approved Elahi’s one-day transit remand.

Pervaiz Elahi will be taken to the ACE headquarters in Lahore by evening, according to officials.
