Parvez Elahi faced multiple arrests since June 1 in various cases, with the most recent arrest by the Punjab ACE occurring on September 18.
According to an ACE spokesperson, Elahi was involved in 12 unlawful recruitments for grade 17 positions in the Punjab Assembly, achieved by altering official records.
