TL;DR Summary

Pakistan's former Prime Minister Imran Khan was arrested by paramilitary forces inside a courthouse in Islamabad, triggering protests and pushback against the military. Khan's supporters have shared videos of men smashing up a home they identified as belonging to a senior military official in Lahore. The military did not respond to NPR requests for comment or verify the videos. Khan was arrested in relation to a case filed in Pakistan's anti-corruption court, which he had not attended. The country has been mired in a political crisis since Khan's ouster in April last year, worsening an economic crisis that has caused food prices to soar and pushed millions close to starvation.
