A case was registered on Saturday against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Shahbaz Gill in Balochistan’s Qila Abdullah area for using foul language against state institutions, Express News reported.
According to the police, an application was filed against Gill and police registered a first information report (FIR) against the senior PTI leader.
Currently, Gill is on bail in a case that was registered against him for sedition and inciting the public against state institutions.
The former aide to ousted premier Imran Khan was arrested on August 9 after he had called for 'rebellion' within the army and called on the officers to defy certain orders from the top command during a private TV channel’s bulletin.

He was detained soon after with lower courts denying his bail pleas.
The move against Gill comes just a day after PTI Senator Azam Swati was allegedly transferred to Kuchlak by Balochistan police.
About a week ago, the senator was taken into custody for the second time after a raid at his farmhouse in Chak Shahzad, Islamabad, by the Federal Investigation Agency’s (FIA) Cyber Crime Wing for allegedly tweeting against senior military officials.
Earlier, a district and sessions court had sent the senator to jail on a 14-day judicial remand in the case.
However, according to sources, the PTI leader was not transferred to Adiala jail and was subsequently arrested by Balochistan police on a case registered against him in Quetta for making a 'controversial speech' in Rawalpindi.
The police then proceeded to transfer Swati via a special flight from Islamabad airport to Balochistan where he was ultimately taken to Kuchlak.
