Following his arrest, he was placed on a five-day physical remand, which was later converted into a 14-day judicial remand beginning on August 28. His release marks a significant development in the ongoing legal battles surrounding PTI leaders and workers charged over violent demonstrations that erupted after Imran Khan’s arrest last year.
