Earlier, a local court in Islamabad discharged Shireen Mazari and Falak Naz from the case. Both PTI leaders were produced before the judicial magistrate’s court in Islamabad.
The judicial magistrate Shabbir Bhatti rejected the police’s request for a three-day physical remand of the PTI leaders and discharged the two leaders from the case. The court also ordered to submit details of the cases registered against Shireen Mazari and Senator Falak Naz. The court said that there was no need for further investigation of Falak Naz and Shireen Mazari.
On this occasion, Shireen Mazari said that after her release earlier, she was arrested again from the second gate of Adiala Jail, kept in diplomatic enclave and secretariat police station.
