The PTI leader, who was arrested from outside LHC last week, challenged his detention under Section 3 of the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO). Today, Lahore High Court ordered his release, stating that his arrest was made on political grounds and that he was not involved in any illegal activity. The Supreme Court Bar Association also demanded his release, condemning the arrest and calling for a revision of the MPO law. The PTI leader had also alleged an attempted abduction by KP police last week, and a first information report was registered against him for organizing a worker’s convention in Swabi.
