Raising objections to the robkar, the Camp Jail officials on Wednesday refused to release former Punjab chief minister and PTI President Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi, who had been granted bail in Punjab Assembly illegal recruitments case yesterday, reported 24NewsHD TV channel. 

The officials said they had failed to understand the conditional decision given by the court; therefore they wanted it to be explained.

Later, the officials filed a petition in the anti-corruption court.

Special Judge Ali Raza Awan, who heard the case, admonished the jail superintendent and the deputy superintendent, and issued a show-cause notice to them in which they were asked to explain as to why they did not release the PTI president despite court order. 

The court also issued a show-cause notice to Rizwan Nawaz, and asked him to appear at 12:30 PM in person. 

The court also summoned DIG jail.
