Imran Khan, former Pakistani Prime Minister, arrested for corruption.

Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan was arrested by paramilitary officers at a court in Islamabad while attending hearings for his bail applications concerning corruption cases against him, which he says are politically motivated. The arrest follows recent tense exchanges between Khan and the country's powerful army. Khan remains hugely popular across the country and his legal troubles have only made him more popular among his base, who believe he will make a comeback and become prime minister again in elections to be held later this year.
