Former Pakistan prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan appeared before an anti-terrorism court in Lahore on Tuesday wearing a bizarre-looking protective headgear. 

A video of the PTI chief wearing a "hilarious" makeshift bulletproof helmet that looked like a black hood, fully guarded by four men with bulletproof shields immediately went viral after being shared online. Khan was appearing before the court to seek an extension in bail in three of the scores of cases registered against him.

Ex Paxtan PM Imran Khan brought to anti-terrorism court in Lahore with bullet proof shield covers.
