After getting bail from Anti corruption court (ATC), the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) officials on Monday arrested former chief minister Punjab Chaudhry Pervez Elahi.

According to the details, the FIA officials have arrested Pervaiz Elahi for investigating in money laundering case.

It is worth mentioning here that Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi got bail from the ATC on Saturday.

However, an unforeseen hurdle prevented the bail petitioner from reaching the designated camp office to complete the necessary release procedures, ultimately hindering his release.

Pervez Elahi was presented before the district court by FIA ​​authorities in district Kachehri.

The FIA, highlighting the significance of the ongoing investigation, requested the court to grant physical remand to further probe into the alleged money laundering case.

In a significant development, the district Kachehri court in Lahore has kept the decision reserved regarding the physical remand of Chaudhry Pervez Elahi. The court proceedings witnessed the conclusion of arguments presented by the lawyers involved in the case.

Advocate Rana stated that Pervaiz Elahi has been booked under seven FIRs, adding that whenever bail is granted in one case, the authorities promptly arrest the accused in another.

However, Advocate Rana firmly stated that none of the evidence presented so far implicates Pervez Elahi in any wrongdoing. He emphasized that the evidence failed to establish any connection or involvement of Chaudhry Pervez Elahi in the alleged offenses.

The advocate maintained that the statement was forcibly taken from Muhammad Zaman, stressing that it does not contain any incriminating information against Chaudhry Pervez Elahi.

He said that the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) investigation revealed that Muhammad Zaman had been withdrawing money from Saira Bano’s (Member of the National Assembly of Pakistan) account but he was accused of being involved in money laundering activities on behalf of Pervez Elahi.
