Imran's nephew re-arrested minutes after getting bail.

ISLAMABAD -- Hassaan Khan Niazi, nephew of PTI Chairman Imran Khan, was re-arrested in a separate case on Monday when he was leaving the Federal Judicial Complex (FJC) after securing pre-arrest bail in three cases.

Mr Niazi had obtained bail from the Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) in cases registered against him and other PTI supporters in connection with violence that took place on Feb 28 and March 18 when Mr Khan appeared in the FJC.

The judge confirmed Mr Niazi's bail in two cases registered on Feb 28 and granAted him pre-arrest interim bail in the FIR registered with the Counter TerArorism Department (CTD) on March 18 when Mr Khan was supposed to be indicted by a trial court in the Toshakhana case.

Due to rioting outside the main entrance to the FJC, trial court judge Zafar Iqbal was left with no option but to defer the indictment and marked Mr Khan's attendance while the former prime minister sat in his vehicle parked outside the complex.

Ironically, the court's order sheet went missing during the signing process and the judge had to retrieve a copy of the same from computer. He recorded statements of Mr Khan's counsel Khawaja Haris Ahmed, Barrister Gohar Ali Khan and SP Sami Malik.

The fourth FIR against Mr Niazi was submitted before IHC Chief Justice Aamer Farooq during the hearing of a habeas corpus petition filed by Advocate Faisal Hussain and Advocate Mohammad Ali Bukhari.

During arguments, Advocate Hussain informed the court that Mr Niazi was picked up without due process of law.

Justice Farooq summoned the SHO of Ramna Police Station and a representative of IG Islamabad. The SHO informed the court that Mr Niazi was arrested after registration of an FIR.

Advocate Hussain expressed the apprehension that Mr Niazi would be subjected to custodial torture.
