It is pertinent to mention here that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) moved Lahore High Court (LHC) against the party chairman’s “illegal” arrest in the Toshakhana case.
The petition stated that the PTI chief was arrested “illegally” by police as they “did not have court order” at the time of the arrest.
Imran Khan arrest
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief was arrested from his Zaman Park residence in Lahore soon after he was found guilty of “corrupt practices” in the Toshakhana case and sentenced to three years in prison.
PTI Vice-Chairman Shah Mehmood Qureshi confirmed the arrest of the PTI chairman in the Toshakhana case.
PTI’s Punjab Chapter confirmed the reports with a tweet: “Imran Khan is being moved to Kot Lakhpat Jail.”
The verdict
District and Sessions Court today awarded three years jail term to the PTI chahadan in Toshakhana criminal case.
The court in its verdict said that the accused has been found guilty of corrupt practices and handed the PTI chairman three years jail sentence.
