Imran Khan offered by Pakistan Judge - Surrender in court to avoid arrest | World News | WION

Imran Khan Arrest: On Wednesday, a Pakistan court ordered police to halt an operation to arrest Imran Khan until today. The order brought an end to clashes with supporters of the former Prime Minister outside his home, in which police fired water cannons and tear gas. Following the court order, security forces withdrew from around Imran Khan's house in Pakistan's eastern city of Lahore. The move eased political instability in the nuclear-armed nation which is struggling with an economic crisis and awaiting an IMF bailout. A lower court in Islamabad had issued a warrant against khan for defying orders to present himself in court. Khan is facing charges that he unlawfully sold state gifts given to him by foreign dignitaries when he was Prime Minister, from 2018 to 2022. Imran Khan stated he signed a surety bond that would guarantee his appearance in court by a march 18 deadline. Khan has denied wrongdoing. Political infighting is common in Pakistan, where no prime minister has yet fulfilled a full term. #pakistan #imrankhan #worldnews About Channel: WION The World is One News examines global issues with in-depth analysis.
