ISLAMABAD: The total number of cases registered against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan has climbed to 76, according to a report submitted by the Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) police.
This updated figure includes 14 additional cases filed after the D-Chowk protest, raising the total in the federal capital from 62 to 76. The legal challenges come as Khan continues to face mounting scrutiny from various authorities.
The Islamabad High Court (IHC) recently concluded a petition filed by Imran Khan’s sister, Noreen Niazi, who sought comprehensive details of the cases registered against him. In response, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) and the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) submitted detailed reports to the court. Additionally, the Interior Secretary provided an account of cases registered in other provinces, including Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh, and Balochistan.
After reviewing all submissions, the court dismissed Noreen Niazi’s petition, deeming no further action necessary. The details of the cases, encompassing charges ranging from terrorism to corruption and incitement, were compiled from multiple sources.
Imran Khan, who was ousted from power in April 2022, has since been embroiled in a series of legal battles. His political party, PTI, has staged several protests, particularly in the wake of Khan’s arrests and ongoing legal confrontations.
Supporters of the former prime minister argue that these cases are politically motivated and part of a larger campaign to suppress dissent. Meanwhile, the growing number of cases highlights the intense legal and political pressures Khan faces in his bid to remain a key figure in Pakistan’s politics.
