The Islamabad High Court Chief Justice Aamer Farooq has asked the Islamabad police chief, the interior ministry secretary, and the additional attorney general to appear before the court within 15 minutes, Dawn reported.

“The IHC CJ said that he was showing “restraint” and warned that he would “summon” the prime minister if the Islamabad police chief did not appear before the court,” Dawn further said. “Come to court and tell us why Imran has been arrested and in which case,” the Pakistani newspaper quoted Justice Farooq.

To recall, Khan has been implicated in over one hundred cases since his ouster from power in April last year.
