How can be held responsible if I was under arrest, Imran asked, saying he was inside the premises of the IHC when he was arrested and they had no justification for the act.
The former premier mentioned that he was abducted and was shown the warrant for his arrest during his custody. He blasted at the authorities, calling it the law of the jungle. Khan even linked with likely martial law, saying the PTI chief stated that he can be arrested again, adding that he was allowed to talk to his wife Bushra Bibi.
Earlier in the day, a large number of PTI lawyers flocked outside the court premises and chanted slogans in support of Imran Khan.
