ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Tuesday ordered release of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Shah Mehmood Qureshi.
However, the PTI leader was arrested by Punjab police outside Adiala jail.
The lawyer for Shah Mehmood Qureshi had submitted an affidavit to the IHC before his release.
IHC judge Justice Hassan Aurangzeb had put a condition of submitting the affidavit for the release of Shah Mehmood Qureshi. Qureshi was arrested after the violent protests of May 9.
On May 18, the IHC quashed orders for Qureshi’s arrest and declared that he be released. However, the court had said that the PTI leader’s release would be contingent on his submission of a written undertaking that he would not partake in violent protests and would refrain from inciting any kind of violence in the future.
Qureshi was among the top PTI leaders arrested from Islamabad within 24 hours of the outbreak of violent protests by PTI workers following former prime minister Imran Khan’s arrest on May 9 in the Al-Qadir Trust case.
