Officers had been trying to arrest the former prime minister for failing to appear in court on corruption charges.
CLASHES BETWEEN PAKISTAN’S police and supporters of former Prime Minister Imran Khan have continued into a second day outside his home in the eastern city of Lahore.
Police have been firing tear gas since yesterday at the house as the 70-year-old opposition leader’s supporters hurled rocks and bricks at the officers. He said he was ready to travel to Islamabad on 18 March under his arrest warrant, but police did not accept the offer. Khan, who was ousted in a no-confidence vote in Parliament in April, was ordered to appear before a judge in Islamabad on Friday to answer charges of illegally selling state gifts he had received during his term as premier and concealing his assets.
