He was however granted bail by a judicial magistrate later in the day.
Racecourse police arrested Chohan from the office of the Lahore Development Authority (LDA) where he had gone to see its director general.
Later, the police presented the MPA before a judicial magistrate at the Cantonment Courts and sought his physical remand. The investigating officer stated that custody of the suspect was required for the verification of his video clip and voice.
The magistrate, however, observed that the offences mentioned in the FIR were bailable.
The magistrate allowed post-arrest bail to Chohan subject to furnishing bail bonds of Rs100,000.
