PTI leader Shireen Mazari was arrested for the fifth time on Tuesday moments after a court in Gujrat ordered her release, the party claimed.
She was apparently taken away in a Vigo without a number plate, media reported.
Earlier today, Mazari was presented by the police in court in a case pertaining to inciting party supporters in Kharian on May 9—the day when PTI chief was arrested.
Mazari’s lawyer Advocate Faraz Ahmed informed Kharian Judicial Magistrate Akhtar Ali that his client never participated in any protests and cited the lack of evidence on the police’s part.
After hearing the arguments, the court directed the police to discharge the PTI leader.
The Islamabad High Court (IHC) issued a notice accepting the request to make Islamabad IG Dr. Akbar Nasir a party to contempt of court in the case of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Shireen Mazari on Tuesday.

Afterward, the court approved the request and adjourned the hearing until May 25.
On Monday, PTI leader Shireen Mazari was released from Adiala Jail around 7 pm, but immediately re-arrested similar to her previous release.
