Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) has꧑ claimed that the chairman was ar🎐rested on two new charges, shortly after a court overturned the charges against Khan and his third wife Bushra Bibi.

Party spokesperson Ahmed Janjua stated that this was "yet another gimmick to keep the illegal impriꦏsonme෴nt prolonged”.
Fresh arrest warrants against the former prime minister come a day after PTI won more seats in the parliament and came on track to become the biggest party in Pa𒆙kista💃ni parliament.
Following his a♔rrest in May 2023, multiple charges of corrupti𝔍on and violations have been filed against Khan.
The cricketer-turned-political has been accused of leaking a classified cable (aka Cipher Case), misusing and selling state gifts (aka Toshakhanꦉa Case), having an unlawful marriage and anti-terrorism charges for inciting violence on May 9, 2023, shortly after his arr🌊est.
Of the four serious charges against him, Khan has been acquitted in three caꦰses. These are -
Cipher Case - In June, the Islamabad High Court acquit♛ted Imran Khan's conviction of leaking state secrets. Khan has been charged 10 years in prison and accused of leaking a classified cable sent by Pakistan's ambassador in Washington in 2022. The cable allegedly unraveled a plot between the💫 US government and Pakistani military to overthrow Khan.
Toshakhana Case - In August 2023, Imran Khan was arrested and sentenced to a total of 17 years for illegally acquiring and selling state gifts. However, after hearing Khan's appeal, high courts have suspended the convictions accusing Khan and his wife of selling gifts more than 140 m𝔉illion rupeꦫes.
Unlawful Marriage Case - On Saturday, a court in Islamabad overturned the conviction against Khan and🌠 ♛his third wife, who had been accused of breaking Islamic law. The court observed that the prosecution had failed to make their case and ordered the "immediate release" of Khan and Bibi.
Despite his acquittal and suspensions, Khan remains on trial for anti-terꦏrorism charges in connection with the unrest and violence caused on May 9, 2023.
