Imran Khan said – come with search warrant, search
Meanwhile, Khan asked the government to send the police team with the search warrant as he would have no objection to it. He has claimed that a decision has been taken to arrest him and he will be tried under the Pakistan Army Act and the Official Secrets Act in connection with the attack on military installations. He said that he would be kept in jail for 10 years on the charge of treason.
On Wednesday, Khan shared a video in a tweet which he claimed showed “visuals from outside my house when I was addressing the nation”. In the video, a large contingent of police officers and dozens of police vehicles are seen moving in one direction.
In a series of tweets on Thursday, Khan demanded an immediate probe into police firing on unarmed protesters which he claimed left 25 dead and hundreds injured on May 6 and 7.
