Earlier in the day, the court ordered officials to release several PTI leaders including Fawad Chaudhry, Shireen Mazari and others, terming their arrest illegal.
The former minister was held last week as he appeared at Supreme Court where he had took refuge to attempt arrest as government started crackdown against PTI leaders over vandalism and clashes at civil military installation in the aftermath of Imran Khan’s arrest.
