Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder and former prime minister Imran Khan has been arrested in connection with the Jinnah House attack case, reported 24NewsHD TV channel Sunday.
The Investigation Police formally detained Khan at Adiala Jail, where he will be investigated for charges related to incitement against the state.
According to authorities, the PTI founder faces charges in 16 cases, including the May 9 Jinnah House attack. He has been granted bail in four cases and facing 12 cases. 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, 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.
