Opposition Leader in Sindh Assembly and Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) leader Haleem Adeel Sheikh has been released from Karachi Central Jail, Bol News reported on Thursday.

He was arrested by the Anti-Encroachment Force (AEF) in an encroachment case soon after he was released on bail in a terrorism case.

As many as 27 cases have been registered against Haleem Adeel Sheikh.

It is pertinent to mention here, that a district and sessions court in Karachi on August 30 turned down the police request for physical remand of the PTI leader and sent him to prison on judicial remand in a case related to land grabbing.
