Prominent women activists of the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI), including Sanam Javed and Shah Bano, were re-arrested shortly after they were released from Kot Lakhpat Jail. They had been granted bail in connection with the Jinnah House attack case.
An anti-terrorism court (ATC) had ordered the release of nine PTI members, including women activists, in the Jinnah House attack case. The court approved their bail pleas against surety bonds worth Rs0.1 million each, allowing their release.
However, the investigation police re-arrested Sanam Javed, Shah Bano, Afshan Tariq, and Ashma Shuja from outside the Kot Lakhpat Jail soon after their release. They were arrested in another case related to the May 9 attack, which was registered with the Sarwar Road police station.
The PTI activists have been shifted to the police station for further investigations.
