PTI Chairman Imran Khan has arrived at the Islamabad High Court (IHC) in connection with the Al-Qadir Trust case, a day after the Supreme Court termed his arrest from the IHC premises “invalid and unlawful”.
Imran arrived at the IHC amid tight security. Footage aired on television showed police and Rangers officials deployed outside the court premises and barbed wire placed in front of the gate.
Footage from outside the IHC showed a large number of lawyers shouting slogans expressing solidarity with the PTI chief.
Immediately after arriving in court shortly after 11:30am, Imran was taken for his biometrics.
Imran was whisked away from the IHC premises by paramilitary forces on Tuesday in connection with the said case — which alleges that Imran and his wife obtained billions of rupees and land worth hundreds of kanals from Bahria Town illegally — leading to violent protests across the country.
The PTI chief had immediately approached the high court for release but it had declared his arrest legal, following which he had approached the Supreme Court.
