New Delhi. New trouble has come on former Prime Minister of Pakistan and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chief Imran Khan. Pakistan’s top election body on Monday issued a non-bailable arrest warrant against Imran Khan in a contempt case.
In the order, he has asked the Islamabad Police to arrest him and produce him before the body by 10 am on Tuesday. The order states: “…the said person has failed to appear before the Election Commission of Pakistan despite notices and bailable arrest on 16 January and 2 March.
The Commission, in exercise of the powers vested under Section 4(2) of the Election Act, 2017 and other enabling provisions of the Act and Rules, has issued a non-bailable warrant of arrest of Imran Ahmed Khan Niazi…,” it said, to be produced on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, a Pakistani court on Monday initiated the process of declaring two sisters and a nephew of Imran Khan as proclaimed offenders in a case related to the attack on the historic Corps Commander’s House here following the former prime minister’s arrest in an alleged corruption case in May.
On 9 May, the Corps Commander’s House, also known as Jinnah House, was vandalized and torched by a mob of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf supporters following the arrest of party chief Khan from the Islamabad High Court.
