LAHORE (Internews Pakistan) – An Islamabad police team reached in Lahore’s Zaman Park on Sunday to ‘arrest’ PTI Chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan.
The Islamabad SP City Hussain Tahir, who is leading the police team, is carrying arrest warrants issued by Additional Sessions Judge Zafar Iqbal in Toshakhana case.
Lahore police have been approached for the arrest of the PTI chief who failed to appear before the court despite repeated calls.
Mr Khan is likely to be arrested after all the legal requirements are fulfilled.
PTI Senior Vice President Fawad Chaudhry, while reacting to the reports of the arrest, warned of a worsening situation in the country if the government moves against the former prime minister.
“Any attempt to arrest Imran Khan will seriously worsen the situation, I want to warn this incompetent and anti-Pakistan government not to push Pakistan into further crisis and act sensibly,” said Fawad.
