Imran Khan was seen evading arrest after police came to his house
Earlier on Sunday, high-profile drama continued at the residence of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan after Islamabad police arrived to arrest him in the Toshakhana case. Khan, however, escaped arrest and his legal team assured the police that he would appear in court on March 7.
PTI vice-chairman and former Pakistan foreign minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said there is no mention of “arrest” in the warrant as the Islamabad sessions court has asked him to appear on March 7 in the Toshakhana case.
The cricketer-turned-politician, who recovered from a bullet injury sustained in an assassination attempt last year, has dropped out of trial three times.
The court had last week issued a non-bailable arrest warrant against Imran Khan and adjourned the hearing till March 7 over his repeated non-appearance.
He has been in the crosshairs for buying gifts, including an expensive Graff wristwatch, which he obtained at a discounted price from a state depository called Toshakhana and selling them for a profit.
