Former Captain: Imran Khan, a former captain and prime minister of Pakistan, has been detained in Islamabad. According to reports, he was detained outside the Islamabad High Court, when the illustrious cricketer proceeded to request bail in a number of cases that called for his presence. However, he wasn’t scheduled to appear in court for the case in which he was arrested.
According to the local media, the event took place at around 14:15 local time (2:45 pm IST), when the Pakistan Rangers detained the 70-year-old. Even though the specifics of the infraction have not yet been made public, they include Al Qadir University, an institution he launched in 2019 while serving as prime minister. Imran was investigated for more than a year, therefore it is anticipated that he will spend a significant amount of time in jail.
According to ESPNcricinfo, the charges are based on a quid pro quo agreement for the land that powerful Pakistani billionaire Malik Riaz contributed to the university. The UK’s National Crime Agency seized assets worth £190 million, which were later restored to the Pakistani government. It’s still unclear, though, what the present administration did with the money and the land.
Imran was turned over to the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) for additional investigation by Pakistan Rangers after his detention. On the other hand, Section 144, which forbids mass assemblies in the capital, was also enacted by the administration. As a result, the Pakistani government and army will have the power to make numerous arrests in the event of large-scale protests.
According to reports, there were two efforts to arrest the former skipper in March, but the attempts were reportedly thwarted by the large crowds that had gathered outside his home. Since leaving the position as prime minister, Imran has been having a difficult time.
