Amir Mughal, the President of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Islamabad, has been arrested again by the police.
The arrest took place outside the Deputy Commissioner's office, confirmed PTI lawyer Asim Baig.
The reasons for Amir Mughal's re-arrest remain unclear.
This development comes as the former ruling party is gearing up for its rally in the provincial capital on July 6.
Last month, Mughal met with the DC and discussed potential locations for the event.
PTI leader Ali Muhammad Khan had urged the nation to join the rally in support of freedom and the rule of law.
"On July 6, PTI will organise a significant rally in Islamabad," stated Khan. "This is a message for the entire nation to step out for freedom and the rule of law. Our fight is to bring the powerful under the law," he added.
Khan further mentioned that this was the first meeting with the PTI founder since Eid. He expressed sorrow over the conditions faced by the PTI leader, stating, "It is deeply saddening to see the nation’s leader kept in such harsh conditions. The PTI founder has been fighting against a corrupt system and mafia."
