Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Asad Umar was arrested from the Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Wednesday a day after party chairman Imran Khan was taken into custody by the NAB in a corruption case.
The PTI leader Asad Umar was arrested by the Anti-Terrorist Squad of the Islamabad police.
At the time of the arrest the PTI lawyers tried stopping the police from arresting the Umar but their efforts went in vain.
The former finance minister was in the IHC to file a petition to seek a meeting with PTI Chairman Imran Khan.
