Former Prime Minister Imran Khan is confronted with yet another legal obstacle as Pakistan’s election commission issues a non-bailable arrest warrant, as reported by Geo news on Monday.
Imran Khan was previously arrested in May on corruption charges, which led to widespread unrest throughout the country. He was later released on bail after a few days.
The specific charge that the Election Commission’s warrant pertains to and whether the police will take action remains unclear at the moment, with Geo news not disclosing its source.
Since his removal from office, Imran Khan has been embroiled in multiple charges across various institutions and courts, including allegations of corruption, murder, and sedition.
Adding to the list of cases, last week, Pakistan’s interior minister announced plans to initiate criminal proceedings against Khan for allegedly exposing official secrets in relation to diplomatic communications between Washington and Islamabad.
