IMRAN KHAN TO BE PRODUCED BEFORE COURT TODAY
Imran Khan will be produced at Islamabad Police Line Headquarters H-11 and the court hearing will be held at Police Line Guest House on Wednesday. During this, the investigating agency National Accountability Bureau (NAB) can demand 4-5 days custody of the PTI chief.
Earlier on Tuesday, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) ruled Khan's arrest as 'legal' but the way it was carried out was illegal and decided to proceed against the Islamabad police chief and interior secretary.
VIOLENT PROTEST ACROSS PAKISTAN
Hours after he was arrested by Pakistan Rangers, his supporters barged into the Corps Commanders House in Lahore Cantt.
Imran Khan's supporters also gathered outside the Army headquarters and hurled stones before breaking into the campus.
Widespread arson and rioting were reported from across the country as Imran Khan’s supporters thronged the streets against his arrest. Dozens have been injured and as many as six deaths have been reported out of which one has been reported from Quetta, one Faisalabad, one Chakdara Swat, and one Lahore.
WHAT IS AL-QADIR TRUST CASE?
Imran Khan, his wife Bushra Bibi, and other leaders of his party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf are accused in the Al-Qadir Trust case, which revolves around the creation of Al-Qadir University.
The case involves a supposed agreement between Imran Khan's government and a real estate magnate, which resulted in a loss of 50 billion rupees to Pakistan's already vulnerable economy.
