Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has been arrested during a court appearance in the capital Islamabad over corruption allegations.
Footage of the arrest shared by Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party showed scores of security personnel in riot-control gear whisking Khan away in a van.
Previous attempts to arrest Khan from his Lahore home resulted in heavy clashes between his supporters and law enforcement personnel.
Reports suggest that he is arrested in a case related to one Al-Qadir Trust. The National Accountability (NAB) issued an arrest warrant for Khan on May 1 in relation to the case.
