The PTI said on Wednesday that Vice Chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi, who had been granted bail in the cipher case by the Supreme Court earlier this week, was arrested outside the Adiala jail.
In a post on X, the party said that the order issued yesterday by the Rawalpindi Deputy Commissioner (DC) for the foreign minister’s 15-day detention under the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) Ordinance had been withdrawn.
The party also shared footage of Qureshi being put inside a police van. Meanwhile, footage aired on television showed him being dragged by personnel into an armoured police vehicle.
While being forcibly whisked away by police personnel, the PTI leader kept saying he was being arrested illegally. He added that the police were making a mockery of the Supreme Court’s orders and cruelty and injustice were at its peak.
“They are arresting me again in a false case,” he said. “I represented the nation, I am innocent and I am being targeted for political revenge without any reason.”
