An FIR against Elahi was registered at the CTD police station on the behalf of station police officer (SHO) of Ramna police station. The case was filed under 11 charges, including terrorism, the sources added.

A spokesperson of the Islamabad police said that the former provincial chief executive was taken into custody in a CTD case number 3/23. “He  [Elahi] has been arrested in the category of unknown people.”
