Imran Khan's Home Becomes Site of Violent Clashes with Police and Supporters

TL;DR Summary
Pakistani police clashed with supporters of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, who they were attempting to arrest over corruption charges. The fighting lasted nearly 24 hours before police withdrew from around Khan's residence. The crisis comes as Pakistan faces economic default, with less than $3 billion in foreign reserves. Khan's falling out with the military, who have been a major power broker in Pakistan, is a stunning turn for a man who was once seen as groomed by the same institution for the job of prime minister.
