Islamabad’s Inspector General of Police Dr Akbar Nasir Khan said the situation was under control.
Islamabad High Court Chief Justice Aamer Farooq took serious note of the incident and ordered the IG, the interior secretary and additional attorney general to appear before it within “15 minutes”. The AAG was also asked to find out who was behind Imran Khan’s arrest.
“If an inquiry has to be conducted, action will also be taken against the prime minister and ministers,” the chief justice said, asking “in which case the arrest was made”.
