Imran Khan, the former Prime Minister of Pakistan, has been arrested at his residence in Lahore, as confirmed by his legal representatives. The arrest comes after a court sentenced him to three years in prison for illegally selling state gifts.
The conviction, in this case, could potentially have significant implications for Khan’s political future, especially concerning his participation in the upcoming national elections scheduled to take place before early November, according to legal experts.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Khan’s political party, swiftly responded to the verdict, stating that they have already lodged an appeal in the country’s Supreme Court to challenge the district court’s ruling.

Following the release of the verdict, local media reported that Khan’s residence in Lahore was surrounded by the police.
The charges leading to the sentence stem from an investigation conducted by the election commission, which found Khan guilty of unlawfully selling state gifts while he served as Prime Minister of Pakistan from 2018 to 2022.
