Islamabad police issue statement over Imran Khan's arrest warrant

Islamabad: Islamabad Police have issued an important statement regarding the arrest warrant of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan.

In a tweet, the Islamabad police said the arrest warrant is a legal process. Imran didn't appear in the court on the previous appearance, so the arrest warrant has been issued to ensure his appearance in the court.

"The Supreme Court had issued an order to strike out the section of terrorism from case number 407/22, after this order, the case was transferred to the Sessions Court. If bail is not granted, he can be arrested in case of non-appearance," the police said in the tweet.
