Ex Pak PM Imran Khan Faces Arrest, His Supporters Block Police

Lahore: A heavy contingent of police today surrounded the residence of Pakistan’s ousted prime minister Imran Khan in Lahore as Islamabad police intended to arrest him in the Toshakhana case. The police blocked all roads leading to the house of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman by placing containers and riot personnel took positions to launch the operation. A large number of PTI workers equipped with clubs are also present outside the 70-year-old leader’s residence to resist the police action, news agency Press Trust of India reported.

Senior PTI leader Farukh Habib told reporters that come what may, Imran Khan would not surrender to police in fake cases. “The arrest warrants in the case related to threatening a female judge were today suspended by the Islamabad High Court. Let’s see what new warrants police have brought with them now,” Habib said.

A senior police officer of Islamabad police said that his team has come here to arrest Khan in the Toshakhana case.

On Monday, the cricketer turned politician led a march of thousands of his supporters, a day after he called off his party’s election rally following a ban on public gatherings in Punjab’s provincial capital. His supporters threw rose petals at a convoy carrying him to Data Darbar shrine.
