Police arrest Imran Khan after court convicts former PMAP, ISLAMABADPolice yesterday arrested former Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan at his home in the eastern city of Lahore after a court convicted him in an asset concealment case and handed him a three-year prison sentence. Supporters of former Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan protest outside the press club in Muzaffarabad in Pakistan-administered Kashmir yesterday.

While a superior court can suspend the conviction, it is the country’s election body that has the final say on whether people can be in politics. “Instead Imran Khan used the time to delay the court proceedings and went back and forth to the high court and supreme court to halt this case,” she said.
