ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan has been arrested by Rangers officials from the Islamabad Judicial Complex, confirmed IG Islamabad on Tuesday.
The former premier was arrested in the Qadir Trust case, added the federal capital’s top cop. “Situation is normal. Section 144 is in place and violations will result in police action,” said IG Islamabad.
Islamabad High Court (IHC) CJ Aamer Farooq has taken notice of the incident and has summoned IG Islamabad, the secretary interior and additional attorney general.
Justice Farooq has directed to inform immediately who was behind the arrest and in what case has Imran been arrested in. The judge maintained that action will be taken, “even if it has to be taken against ministers”.
The former premier was arrested from within the premises of the IHC where he had appeared for a hearing of cases pertaining to inciting mutiny.
