The 74-year-old politician has been arrested for second time in more than a month as he secured post-arrest bail in controversial tweets case from a court in the capital city last month.
The FIA has registered a first information report (FIR) on the complaint of the state through Islamabad Cyber Crime Reporting Centre (CCRC) Technical Assistant Aneesur Rehman.
Hours earlier, Swati was produced before the judicial magistrate, after being arrested by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA). During the course of proceedings, the Court asked as to what wrong did Azam Swati have done, to which the FIA responded that he posted a series of tweets and had admitted doing so.
