Shah, who is the granddaughter of former army chief Asif Nawaz Janjua, currently finds herself under preventive detention as per an order issued by the deputy commissioner under the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO).
Previously, an anti-terrorism court had granted Shah bail in the fourth and final case related to protests on May 9. These protests allegedly involved attacks on the Lahore corps commander’s house, Askari Tower, and the torching of police vehicles near Rahat Bakery in the cantonment area.
Additionally, Shah faced arrest by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) in connection with a cybercrime case involving social media posts allegedly inciting violence against the army during the May 9 disturbances. However, a sessions court had subsequently granted her bail in this matter.
