An Anti Terrorism Court (ATC) in Islamabad on Friday rejected the prosecution’s request seeking 10 physical remand of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) President Parvez Elahi in the Judicial Complex attack case. 

ATC Judge Abul Hasnat Zulqarnain sent the PTI leader to Adiala jail on a 14-day remand.

The PTI president was arrested hours after his release from NAB custody on September 1, after the LHC had explicitly restricted the authorities from arresting him earlier that same day. 

The September 1 order was a reiteration of similar orders issued by the high court on July 13, 2023. Elahi has been arrested and detained repeatedly since the May 9 riots.
