A local magistrate in Islamabad has issued warrant for former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan’s arrest in a case of allegedly threatening the government officials including District and Sessions Judge Zeba Chaudhry. The magistrate issued the arrest warrant on the request of the police on Saturday. Imran was booked in a terrorism case on the complaint of Islamabad Saddar Magistrate Ali Javed for threatening the additional sessions judge of the federal capital, Zeba Chaudhry. However, new sections were later added to the FIR, against which the PTI chief had approached the court. Imran alleged that Additional Sessions Judge Zeba Chaudhry knew that party leader Shahbaz Gill was tortured, but she did not release him on bail.
