Khan was taken into custody following a hearing of the Islamabad High Court in the Al-Qadir Trust case, where he went to seek bail in several cases filed against him.
Later on Tuesday, Islamabad police confirmed Khan was arrested, as videos emerged in which the ex-premier was seen being dragged by security forces.
Toshakhana Case
In October 2022, Pakistan's election commission stripped Khan of his parliamentary mandate as well as the right to be elected and appointed to both the country's federal and regional legislatures for five years after it found him guilty of selling 52 valuables stored in Toshakhana, the Pakistani state treasury, and hiding information about gifts that he received personally.
In April 2022, then-opposition leader Sharif said that Khan had sold state treasures in Dubai with a total value of 140 million Pakistani rupees ($500,000 dollars). The same month, Khan was ousted from power in a no-confidence vote, for which Khan largely blamed a purported conspiracy by the US administration to "punish" Khan for his government's independent foreign policy, including the good relationship with Russian.
