The law enforcement authorities on Thursday re-arrested Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders Ali Muhammad Khan upon his release from Peshawar jail, Aaj News reported.

On Wednesday, the Peshawar High Court (PHC) had ordered the release of Ali Muhammad Khan.

A two-member bench comprising Justice Iijaz Anwar and Justice Syed Mohammad Attique Shah announced a reserved verdict on Khan's bail plea.

However, soon after his release, the police re-arrested him in an undisclosed case.

This is the fourth time Ali has been re-arrested since May 9. Initially, he was arrested under the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) Ordinance 1960 in the light of the May 9 violence. He was then released on May 17 and re-arrested upon release.

The government also canceled his diplomatic passport.

On May 30, he was re-arrested after being released from Adiala Jail after completing his “house arrest” period under the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) Act.
