Awami Muslim League (AML) Chief Sheikh Rashid was arrested on Tuesday from outside a courtroom after his bail was rejected in a case related to the May 9 riots, Aaj News reported.
A case was registered against him for vandalism at the Metro bus station situated at Sixth Road in Rawalpindi. He was granted bail in all other cases.
The former interior minister was arrested last year from his private residence in a housing society in Rawalpindi.
Sardar Abdul Razzak Khan, the lawyer for Rashid, said that “men clad in plain clothes arrested Rashid from his residence”.
He claimed that the former interior minister had been moved to an “undisclosed location”, which is in no way justified.
The boots will not let him out till after the selections on 8 Feb.

After becoming famous as a police state, we are now becoming an establishment state. What say the CJ of SC?

Its true and all staged drama, after PTI refused to accommodate him. Nothing sells like sympathy! Wonder when elections will be run on issues and policy solutions.

Sheikh Rashid has been darling of the establishment and licking boots while a lot of other politicians were being arrested. He was the main facilitator of IK with establishment .So he should have known it better than every one else. But he still took a gamble along with IK and lost. Now time to pay...
