Background of the detention

The politician was detained last week after a local court revoked the pre-arrest bail granted to him. After this preventive measure was revoked, Achakzai was sent to Chaman District Jail.

Subsequently, the court granted the police's request for a seven-day physical remand. After this period expired, the court decision provided for his release from prison.
