Shah Mahmood Qureshi, Vice Chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, re-arrested outside Adiala jail after being granted bail in Cipher case by Supreme Court.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party's Vice Chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi, who was last week granted bail in the Cipher case by the Supreme Court, was re-arrested outside the Adiala jail on December 27.
Footage aired on television and shared by PTI on social media showed the 67-year-old former Foreign Minister, who was loudly protesting the “illegality” of the police’s actions, being shoved into an armoured police vehicle by an official wearing the Punjab Police uniform, Dawn News reported.
In a post on X, the party said Mr. Qureshi was again arrested from outside the Adiala jail after being released on bail in the Cipher case.
The party said that the order issued on December 26 by the Rawalpindi Deputy Commissioner Rawalpindi Hasan Waqar Cheema for Mr. Qureshi’s 15-day detention had been withdrawn.
