PESHAWAR: Hours after the Peshawar High Court (PHC) instructed authorities to immediately release him, PTI leader Ali Mohammad Khan was on Thursday set free from Mardan jail after nearly 80 days of incarceration. Confirming his release, Ali Mohammad’s lawyer Shehryar Khattak told media that the PTI leader had departed for his village in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Hathian. According to his lawyer, the former MNA was arrested eight times and kept behind bars for 80 days. However, immediately after the court granted his release, Ali Mohammad was re-arrested under 3-MPO (Maintenance of Public Order) for one week on the orders of the Mardan deputy commissioner. Earlier today, the PHC directed authorities to immediately release Ali Mohammad after his lawyer approached the court for bail.
