ISLAMABAD: Former prime minister and PTI chairman Imran Khan claimed on Monday that he was unaware about the statements made by party aide Shahbaz Gill on a private TV channel that eventually led to his arrest.
Speaking at the seminar on the independence of the judiciary in the federal capital, Khan said that Gill later informed him about the comments he had made.
He said that Gill was taken into custody without any arrest warrants. “Gill was stripped naked and his pictures were taken,” he added.
Separately, while presiding over a parliamentary party meeting at his Bani Gala residence, Khan dared the coalition government to arrest him.
Earlier today, the former prime minister secured transit bail for three days till August 25 after he filed a pre-arrest bail application in the Islamabad High Court earlier to avoid arrest in a terror case filed against him last (Sunday) night.
A first information report (FIR) was registered against Khan under the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) for threatening an additional sessions judge and senior police officers of the Islamabad Police at a rally in the federal capital’s F-9 Park.
