Earlier, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) President Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi was re-arrested once again immediately after being discharged in a corruption case about the Lahore Master Plan 2050.

A local court heard the case against the former Punjab chief minister in the case. The Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE) produced him in court and sought his physical remand in the case.
