Imran Khan, the former prime minister of Pakistan, was detained today as he was entering the Islamabad high court for a hearing in one of the numerous lawsuits that have been pending against him since his resignation last year. Paramilitary forces arrested the 70-year-old former cricketer-turned-politician outside the courthouse; leaders of his party, Pakistan-Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), claim that police broke the glass window of the room where his biometric data was being taken and dragged him outside. 

The arrest occurs a day after the nation's strong army accused Mr. Khan of making unfounded accusations against a key member of the ISI espionage agency. Islamabad police tweeted in urdu that imran khan had been detained in connection with the Qadir Trust issue, which involves charges that Al-Qadir Trust, owned by PTI chairman Mr. Khan and his wife, had been granted millions of dollars worth of land by Bahria Town. 

However, many have questioned whether the arrest was based solely on the merits of the case due to the dramatic way in which it was made. As PTI urged supporters to demonstrate in the streets, Islamabad police issued a warning that "Section 144 is in force and action will be taken in case of violation." In spite of receiving many notices, imran khan failed to appear in court, according to a tweet from Pakistan's interior minister Rana Sanaullah. "The public Accountability Bureau conducted the arrest for creating losses to the public treasury. He was not subjected to any violence, he tweeted in Urdu.
