Ex-Punjab CM Parvaiz Elahi arrested from outside his home
Ex-Punjab chief executive Parvaiz Elahi has been taken into custody from outside his home.
Punjab Caretaker Information Minister Amir Mir said that Parvez Elahi was wanted by the anti-corruption unit.
He said that the former CM resisted his arrested and only opened the door of his vehicle when the personnel shattered the door glass.
Elahi had been evading arrest since May 9 following which several PTI members and leaders have been arrested on allegations of their involvement in vandalism — as authorities continued to visit his house for his arrest multiple times.

Moonis Elahi reaction
PTI President Moonis Elahi said that the series of round-ups started from January, then his father told him that even if he was arrested, he would support Imran Khan.
“Three days ago my father and mother repeated the same thing. Now it is being said that the police have arrested my father on false charges. We are and will remain in PTI, Inshallah,” he added.
