Parvez Elahi was rearrested hours after release in Lahore on Friday!
As reported Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) President and former Punjab chief minister Parvez Elahi was rearrested under 3-MPO (Maintenance of Public Order) by the Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) police.
Taking to X-platform Moonis Elahi said: “After the high court’s orders and on the judge’s instructions police including court security were taking my father home.
“As the car entered our street, it was stopped and he was abducted.”
He added that if courts were going to be “ridiculed like this maybe they should officially declare it”.

Remember #PervaizElahi is former CM Punjab, Deputy PM and Speaker Punjab Assembly. What has been done to him today is totally unacceptable and shameful. IG Islamabad and IG Punjab should face the consequences over this arrest. Black day for politics.#ImranKhanNeedsJustice pic.twitter.com/MX6zeyF64s
