Rafizi Ramli is the fourth PKR leader to be arrested for the pro-Anwar Ibrahim Kita Lawan rally.
Laywer Melissa Sasidaran said he is held at the Dang Wangi district police headquarters where he had gone to lodge a police report against 1Malaysia Development Bhd.
The PKR vice president was detained at about 7pm under Section 143 of the Penal Code and Section 9(5) of the Peaceful Assembly Act.
However, Sasidaran told Malaysiakini that Rafizi was released at 9.10pm on police bail after his statement was taken. He was questioned for about 45 minutes.
"They were questioning about his involvement, his speech, and were also trying to find out who is the organiser of the rally," she said.
Police have arrested PKR Youth leader Saifullah Zulkifl, PKR Youth chief Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad and PKR supreme council member Fariz Musa over the rally.
Nik Nazmi was released on police bail at 8.20pm, Sasidaran said.
The Seri Setia assemblyperson was arrested on Sunday afternoon and slapped with a three-day remand.
"He is okay but he is a bit tired from the lack of sleep in the lockup," she said when asked of his condition.
Some 10,000 protestors thronged downtown Kuala Lumpur for the Kita Lawan rally on Mar 7, in solidarity with Anwar who is serving a five year jail sentence for sodomy.
The rally was also to call for Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak's resignation.
