KARACHI: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader and leader of opposition in Sindh Assembly Haleem Adi l Sheikh has been released from Karachi Central Jail. He was arrested by Anti-Encroachment Force (AEF) in an encroachment case soon after he was released on bail in a terrorism case. Malir court on last Tuesday sent PTI leader Haleem Adil Sheikh to jail on judicial remand by rejecting police’s plea for physical remand in land grabbing case.

Haleem Adil is accused of encroaching 25 acres of land in Malir. PTI leader was presented before court from jail by anti-encroachment officials. Sheikh complained before court that he was dragged by his collar during his court appearance and was kept in a ward reserved for hardcore terrorists in jail. Anti-encroachment officials pleaded court for physical remand of Haleem Adil for probe in case, while defense lawyer opposed plea citing health issues.
