Last week, violent clashes were witnessed between PTI workers and the Islamabad police after former prime minister arrived at the Judicial Complex to attend the Toshakhana case.
After clashes, two cases were registered in Islamabad against the PTI chief and his supporters. He was accused of directing supporters to attack law enforcers and creating unrest outside the FJC in Islamabad.
The former PM then filed two petitions in the Lahore High Court, seeking protective bail to enable him to surrender.
