In a dramatic turn of events, former Prime Minister Imran Khan has been arrested in a new case shortly after being granted bail in the high-profile Toshakhana corruption case. Khan, the leader of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), had been facing charges related to the alleged illegal sale of state gifts while in office.
The arrest comes just a day after the Islamabad High Court granted him bail in the Toshakhana case, allowing him to walk free after spending weeks in detention. Legal experts believe the new case is an attempt to keep Khan engaged in ongoing legal battles, but the nature of the charges remains unclear.
Khan’s legal team has vowed to challenge the arrest, calling it politically motivated and part of efforts to silence the opposition. Supporters of the former prime minister have gathered outside the court to protest the new charges, accusing the government of using the judiciary to target Khan.
The arrest is expected to fuel tensions between the ruling coalition and the opposition, especially as Imran Khan remains a polarizing figure in Pakistan’s political landscape. Further details on the new case will be revealed in the coming days as investigations continue.
