Former Pakistan's Premier Imran Khan, who was arrested on Tuesday, is likely to remain under the custody of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) for 4 to 5 days, as the bureau requests the court for his maximum remand allowed under the law.
A National Accountability Bureau source told media on Tuesday that Imran Khan will be presented before the accountability court today (Wednesday).
Meanwhile, Asserting that ongoing nationwide protests will continue until the release of Imran Khan, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has instructed the party leaders, workers and supporters to gather at the Islamabad Judicial Complex at 8 am on Wednesday.
PTI Senior Vice President Fawad Chaudhry on Wednesday said the party will approach the Supreme Court today morning to challenge the Islamabad High Court's upholding of party chairman Imran Khan's arrest. Fawad Chaudhry termed Islamabad High Court's decision 'surprising.'
He tweeted, 'It is surprising that Islamabad High Court has declared the arrest of Imran Khan as legal, the arrest of Imran Khan without giving a decision on bail before his arrest is illegal, this decision is being challenged in the Supreme Court this morning.'
