Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) President Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi was arrested outside his residence in Lahore on Thursday in connection with a corruption case, reported Pakistani media Geo News. The former Punjab chief minister was apprehended by anti-corruption officers after pulling over near Zahoor Elahi’s apartment in Lahore’s Gulberg district. The arrest comes after an anti-corruption court last week revoked his temporary release for failing to appear in court due to health difficulties.
Punjab caretaker Information Minister Amir Mir confirmed the arrest to Geo News by saying that the former provincial chief executive was arrested by the Anti-Corruption Establishment with the help of police.
