Jailed Imran Khan Arrested In Case Linked To Pak Army Headquarters Attack

Jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan was on Tuesday arrested in a case related to the attack on the Pakistan Army headquarters in Rawalpindi on May 9 last year, soon after his release warrant was issued in the cipher case.

An anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Rawalpindi had summoned the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf founder, who is already behind bars in cipher and graft cases, in May 9 cases on Tuesday. However, Mr Khan attended the court's proceedings via video link as he could not be produced in the court by Adiala jail authorities owing to security concerns.

Judge Ijaz Asif of the Anti-Terrorism Court Rawalpindi conducted hearings of at least 12 cases linked with the May 9 riots against Mr Khan and others.
