On Thursday, anti-corruption officials from Lahore arrested Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) President Parvez Elahi outside his home.
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 spokeswoman for Elahi verified the news.
The development comes after an anti-corruption court last week revoked his interim release for failing to appear in court due to health difficulties.
His arrest was sought in connection with the Rs70 million corruption case involving the misappropriation of development funds designated for the Gujrat district.
The anti-corruption court judge also declared Elahi’s medical certificate bogus which claimed that he had been experiencing chest pain.
