Pakistan police attempt to arrest ex-PM Imran Khan

Al Jazeera :
Officers have arrived at the residence of former Prime Minister Imran Khan in a bid to arrest him in a case related to the purchase and sale of gifts.
In a series of tweets on Sunday, the police said Khan was “avoiding” arrest after officers arrived at his home in Lahore, adding that a police superintendent had “gone to the room” but the 70-year-old was not there.
On Tuesday, an Islamabad sessions court issued a non-bailable arrest warrant for the former PM for avoiding hearings in connection with the illegal purchase and sale of gifts received from
foreign dignitaries when he was prime minister. Khan has denied the charges.
Following the police’s attempt to arrest him, Khan addressed party workers at his home and said he is being summoned for ‘fake cases’ despite there being a threat to his life.
