Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf senior leader Ali Muhammad Khan was rearrested for the sixth shortly after being released by an anti-corruption court in Peshawar on Tuesday.
Earlier today, the court granted post-arrest interim bail to the PTI incarcerated leader in a case related to alleged fake hiring to the fisheries department and causing Rs2.3 million losses to the national treasury.
Soon after his release, ACE officials detained him in connection with another case involving the alleged misappropriation of money from multiple contracts.
In accordance with Section 3 of the Maintenance of Public Order Order (MPO), Islamabad Capital Territory Police detained Khan for the first time on May 11 in relation to the violent protests and attacks on the civic and military establishments the previous month.
The PTI leader had been re-arrested five times after his release was ordered by the relevant courts.
On June 9, the PTI leader was released from prison after an anti-terrorism court (ATC) discharged him from all the cases related to May 9 mayhem and attacks on civil and military installations. The court ordered the authorities to let him walk free if he was not implicated in any other case.
Soon after his release, officials of the anti-corruption establishment (ACE) took him into custody in a corruption case from outside the ATC premises.
