Islamabad:Former Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi, recently granted bail by the Supreme Court in the cipher case, was re-arrested outside Adiala jail, sparking protests from Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) members. The PTI alleges mistreatment by police during the arrest, sharing a video on social media showing Qureshi vehemently objecting to what he claims is an illegal arrest.
In the video, Qureshi states, “They are arresting me again in a false case. I represent the nation, I am innocent, and I am being targeted for political revenge without any reason.” The actions follow the withdrawal of Qureshi’s 15-day detention order by the Rawalpindi Deputy Commissioner on Tuesday.
The PTI continues to protest the treatment of its leader, emphasizing that such conduct by law enforcement is shameful and unacceptable.
