LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI’s) Senior Vice President Sher Afzal Marwat on Friday challenged his detention under Section 3 of the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO), ARY News reported.
Sher Afzal Marwat was arrested from outside the Lahore High Court (LHC) on Thursday evening.
The senior PTI leader has challenged his detention in the Lahore High Court (LHC) through his lawyer Adnan Kalar.
The petition stated that Sher Afzal Marwat’s arrest was made on political grounds and the PTI leader was not involved in any “illegal activity”.
The lawyer pleaded with the court to declare his client’s detention “null and void” and issue Marwat’s release orders.
Marwat, who is senior vice president of the party, was leaving the high court premises after attending a lawyers’ convention when a heavy contingent of police arrested him.
According to police, the PTI leader was arrested under 3MPO and shifted to Mazang police station.
Last week, the PTI leader alleged an attempted “abduction” by KP police while en route to Gulabad near Chakdara for a party convention scheduled in Bajaur.
