ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Barrister Maleeka Bokhari, Ali Muhammad Khan, and Shireen Mazari were on Wednesday arrested once again shortly after being released from custody.

Ms Bokhari was arrested outside Adiala Jail, where armed personnel of the Islamabad police apprehended the PTI leader and swiftly transported her to an undisclosed location. On the other hand, Mr Khan was taken into custody by Punjab police from outside District Jail, Jhelum and shifted to an undisclosd location.

Both were arrested despite the Islamabad High Court's earlier orders to release them this afternoon.

This development comes on the heels of the recent detainment of Dr Shireen Mazari and Falaknaz, who were also re-arrested shortly after their release from custody yesterday.

On the other hand, Iman Mazari, daughter of PTI leader Shireen Mazari took to Twitter to share that Ms Mazari was re-arrested minutes after Ms Iman had expressed fears of her mother's re-arrest. A CCTV footage posted by her showed Punjab police personnel gathered outside Ms Mazari's house, even though the IHC had ordered her release and barred the police from arresting her until tomorrow.
