ISLAMABAD, Oct 01 (DNA): Islamabad police on Saturday announced that PTI
Chairman Imran Khan could be arrested if he fails to appear before the
court for threatening a female judge and Islamabad police officials.
A spokesman for Islamabad police said that arrest warrant is a legal
process and it was issued after Imran Khan failed to appear before the
court in its last hearing. “Warrants are issued to ensure appearance of
suspects before courts,” the spokesman said.
The police official said the case 407/22 was transferred to a session
court after the Islamabad High Court removed terrorism charges from it.
“Imran Khan is yet to seek bail from the session court,” the official
said.
He warned that the PTI chief could be arrested if he fails to comply
with the court orders and appear before it.
