RAWALPINDI: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan is set to be presented by the police before a court today seeking the former prime minister’s physical remand in connection with a vandalism case.
The hearing will be conducted at an anti-terrorism court set up in Rawalpindi’s Adiala jail, where the PTI founder has been incarcerated.
The only prime minister to be ousted through a vote of no-confidence in Pakistan’s history, Khan has been in jail for more than a year with several cases lodged against him as well as his party leaders and workers.
Khan’s latest arrest in the vandalism case, which was lodged against him in September, came hours after he was granted bail in the new Toshakhana case.
The police spokesperson said late Wednesday that a team of investigators of the Rawalpindi police led by SSP Investigation arrived at the Adiala Jail and formally “arrested” the former premier.
