Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan has been arrested in connection with the Jinnah House attack case. The Investigation Police formally detained Khan at Adiala Jail, where he will be investigated on charges related to incitement against the state.
Khan faces charges in 12 cases, including the May 9 Jinnah House attack. The police initially sought to transfer him to Lahore for further investigation, but the Rawalpindi court denied the request due to security concerns.
Imran Khan is scheduled to appear before the Anti-Terrorism Court in Lahore via video link on Monday, where the police are expected to request his remand for further investigation related to the Jinnah House incident.
In a separate case, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) arrested Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, hours after his acquittal in Iddat Case, in connection with a new reference to the Toshakhana case. They were granted an eight-day physical remand. The federal government has since issued a directive for their trial to be held at Adiala Jail.
