Six key aides of Imran Khan barred from foreign travel 

Islamabad: Pakistan’s top investigation agency has listed six key aides of ousted Prime Minister Imran Khan to prevent them from leaving the country. 

The names of six key aides of Imran Khan have been put on the Exit Control List (ECL) also known as ‘stop list’ by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) on Sunday. 

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) head of social media Arsalan Khalid's name has also been added to the list. Being on the list, they are barred from traveling abroad without permission. 

The FIA introduced the system of ‘stop list' in 2003 to stop unwanted people from trying to leave the country in the shortest possible time as placing someone's name on the ECL takes a long time.

The people on the ECL are prohibited from leaving Pakistan.

In the wee hours of Sunday, Khan was removed from the post of Prime Minister by a joint opposition through a no-confidence motion. 

Imran Khan, 69, became the first premier in the Pakistan's history to be sent home after losing the trust of the House.
