Imran Khan granted bail amid controversy and political tensions in Pakistan.

Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has been granted bail by the Islamabad High Court after his arrest on corruption charges this week sparked deadly clashes before being declared illegal. Khan has become entangled in a slew of legal allegations since he was removed from power in April last year by a no-confidence vote in parliament and then launched a defiant campaign against the military. General elections are due no later than October, and the former cricket star has accused the shaky incumbent coalition government of ousting him in cahoots with top generals.
