The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has taken Imaan Mazari and her husband, Hadi Ali Chatha, into custody following the cancellation of their bail by the court.
According to available details, the arrests were made near Serena Chowk while the couple was on their way to the district courts. They were traveling in a van arranged by the Islamabad High Court Bar Association at the time of the incident. The vehicle also carried the association’s president along with other senior bar officials, who were accompanying the couple to court proceedings.
Eyewitness accounts suggest that security personnel stopped the convoy near Serena Chowk and intercepted the van. FIA officials then detained Imaan Mazari and Hadi Ali Chatha, taking them into custody on the spot. The sudden interception caused brief disruption in traffic in the area as multiple security vehicles surrounded the van during the operation.
Sources familiar with the matter said that the arrests were carried out after the court withdrew the interim bail previously granted to the couple, paving the way for law enforcement authorities to proceed with their detention. However, officials have not yet disclosed full details regarding the specific charges or the next legal steps to be taken following the arrest.
Members of the legal fraternity present at the scene reportedly expressed concern over the manner of the arrest, while emphasizing the need for due process under the law. The presence of bar association officials highlighted the sensitivity of the situation and drew attention from passersby and media representatives.
As of now, the FIA has not issued a comprehensive statement outlining the grounds of the case or confirming where the detained individuals are being held. Further information is expected as investigations continue and formal updates are released by the authorities.
This remains a developing story, and more details are likely to emerge as the situation unfolds.
