LAHORE: An anti-corruption court on Tuesday granted PTI president Pervez Elahi post-arrest bail in the Punjab Assembly (PA) illegal recruitments’ case.
Anti-corruption court Special Judge Ali Raza Awan announced the verdict reserved a day earlier after hearing the arguments on an application filed by the former chief minister.
Elahi was initially arrested on June 1 from outside his Gujranwala residence in a Rs70 million graft case related to the embezzlement of development funds allocated for the Gujrat district.
After a district court in Lahore ordered his release, the PTI president was arrested again in a corruption case registered against him in Gujranwala by Punjab ACE.
He was then presented before a court in Gujranwala on Saturday, which later discharged him in the two corruption cases registered in the district’s anti-corruption police station for allegedly taking kickbacks in the development funds allocated for the construction of roads in Gujrat.
