Police officers will interrogate Imran Khan in Adiala Jail after which he will be presented before the court on November 26, 2024.
ATC approves five-day physical remand of Imran Khan. In a groundbreaking move, the Anti-terrorism Court (ATC) approves the five-day physical remand of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) founder and former Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan’s physical remand.
The court hearing chaired by Judge Amjad Ali Shah approved the physical remand of the former Prime Minister at the request of state prosecutor Zaheer Shah and handed him into police custody.
According to the court ruling, police officers will interrogate Imran Khan in Adiala Jail after which he will be presented before the court on November 26, 2024.
Earlier, hours after the Islamabad High Court (IHC) granted bail to the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf founder in the Toshakhana II case, Rawalpindi police arrested him in a new case on terrorism and other charges on Wednesday.
Late Wednesday, the police spokesperson said that a team, led by SSP Investigation, formally arrested the former premier at the Adiala Jail and has been tasked with probing the matter.
According to the police, an FIR was filed at Rawalpindi’s New Town police station against Imran Khan in connection with the PTI’s Liaquat Bagh protest on September 27.
Imran Khan had already issued a decisive “do or die” call for a nationwide march to Islamabad on November 24, marking a critical moment in his ongoing opposition to the current government. His lawyer, Faisal Chaudhry, confirmed that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader has formed a special committee to organize the protest, with PTI’s entire leadership set to participate.
Khan emphasized that this march represents the final call for a mass movement against the government, driven by rising political tensions and widespread discontent. With a history of large-scale protests, Khan’s announcement has raised expectations that this demonstration will be one of the most significant in recent times, as PTI supporters demand the resignation of the government and an end to perceived political repression. Given the government’s tough stance since the May 9 protests, the call for the November 24 march is likely to provoke further crackdowns, including mass arrests.
