The bail has been granted to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan in two separate cases by courts in Islamabad.

On Tuesday, the banking court of Islamabad approved Imran Khan’s bail in the prohibited funding case, while the Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) granted him interim bail in the case related to protests outside the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) office.

Despite being ordered to appear in court, Imran Khan traveled from Lahore to Islamabad to attend the proceedings for the cases in which he had been accused.

Scenes of commotion at the Islamabad judicial complex as Imran Khan arrives

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Tuesday traveled from Lahore to Islamabad via motorway instead of a helicopter to attend court proceedings in four different cases.

Imran Khan arrived in the federal capital from Lahore in a motorcade accompanied by numerous party workers. Along the way, PTI activists welcomed their leader at various locations.

The journey was marked by enthusiastic scenes as supporters cheered and waved PTI flags.

They also accompanied him to the court.

A minor disturbance was reported in the federal capital as officials from the district administration and PTI workers engaged in a scuffle.

PTI workers removed the barricades and barbed wire that had been set up to prevent unrelated individuals from entering the court premises.

Another instance of scuffle was reported outside Imran Khan’s Bani Gala residence in Islamabad where the district administration removed barriers.

The decision on Imran Khan’s indictment in the Toshakhana case is also expected to be finalized on the same day.

Meanwhile, security has been tightened on the roads leading to the court, and a heavy contingent of police is deployed outside the court on Imran Khan’s arrival while the road toward the judicial complex has been closed to the public.
