Imran Khan, the former prime minister of Pakistan, is likely to be arrested today when he appears in court in Lahore to request protective bail.
According to reports in the local media, federal investigators have chosen to apprehend the populist figurehead in a case involving illegal funding. According to sources, the FIA officials would arrest the PTI chairman with the assistance of provincial law enforcement.
The head of the Federal Investigation Agency has received a summary for final clearance, and a team has assembled for the arrest. The nation’s federal capital, Islamabad, would receive the former premier after his arrest.
According to reports, the police party is waiting for approval from the top investigating agency at Imran Khan’s Lahore home. At the same location, Khan’s party members are camping out to prevent the arrest of their leader.
Imran Khan was the subject of an investigation by the FIA last year after the electoral body found that his party had received unauthorized funds.
