• Imran Khan sought protective bail in three cases
• Two terrorism cases were lodged against him
• Another case was registered in Quetta

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan withdrew an application in the Lahore High Court (LHC) seeking protective bail in three cases.

The application was filed by Imran’s lawyer seeking protective bail in two terrorism cases and another cases lodged in Quetta.

The petitioner urged the court to grant protective bail in the cases. The petitioner said he wants to appear in court and face the charges against him. He said there is a fear of arrest, so therefore, the court should grant protective bail in all three cases.

It must be mentioned that two more cases have registered against the former prime minister in Islamabad and Quetta. The number of cases has now reached 76.

A case has been registered against 150 people including the PTI chairman for threatening police officials who had arrived to arrest him from his Zaman Park residence.

The case was registered on the complaint of the Station House Officer (SHO) at Secretariat Police Station in Islamabad.

The police officer stated said a team from Islamabad Police reached outside Zaman Park to arrest PTI chief, when PTI workers carrying batons surrounded police officials and threatened them with serious consequences.

The SHO accused Imran Khan of ‘planning the entire scene’, saying that the mob warned the police officials against arresting the former prime minister.

Police arrived at Zaman Park with court summons but were met by a large crowd of party supporters. Police eventually left the residence later in the day.

Another case was registered in Quetta on the complaint of a citizen named Abdul Khalil Karak at Bijli road police station against Imran Khan’s recent speech.

The PTI chairman was booked under Pakistan Penal Code – Section 505 [Statements conducing to public mischief], Section 124-A [Sedition] and Section 153-A [Promoting enmity between different groups].
