The first photo of former Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan in the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) custody surfaced on Wednesday, a day after he was arrested from outside Islamabad High Court in connection with the Al-Qadir Trust case.
Khan had gone to the court to attend the hearing in the Al-Qadir Trust case in which it has been alleged that the PTI chief and his wife obtained billions of rupees from a real estate firm for legalising Rs 50 billion.
He was undergoing a biometric process at the court when the paramilitary Rangers broke open the glass window and arrested him after beating lawyers and Khan's security staff.
As the news of Imran Khan's arrest spread, protests broke out in various places in Pakistan. Absolute mayhem prevailed on the streets of Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Lahore, Karachi, Gujranwala, Faisalabad, Multan, Peshawar, and Mardan as protesters resorted to stone pelting on houses, offices and vehicles, burning banners and tyres and blocking roads.
The enraged protestors stormed the house of the army corps commander in Lahore and set fire to it. They also barged into the Army headquarters in Rawalpindi.
The government also suspended mobile internet across the country. Moreover, Netblocks, an organisation that tracks internet outages, said access to Twitter, Facebook and Youtube was restricted across Pakistan, a report in Dawn said.
A Red alert has also been sounded in the capital after the implementation of Section 144, Rangers and armed forces will be deployed at important buildings and areas.
