Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Tuesday traveled from Lahore to Islamabad via motorway instead of a helicopter to attend court proceedings in four different cases. He was directed by the court to make a physical appearance in a prohibited funding case, where a decision on his bail application is also expected to be announced.

The bail application of the PTI chairman will be heard by Judge Rakhshanda Shaheen in the anti-terrorism court (ATC), where he is expected to apply for pre-arrest bail. Earlier, the ATC had rejected Imran Khan’s bail application due to his non-appearance.The decision on Imran Khan’s indictment in the Toshakhana case is also expected to be finalized on the same day.

In addition, Additional Sessions Judge Zafar Iqbal will hear the complaint filed by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) against Imran Khan regarding the case registered against him for protesting outside and sabotaging the ECP office. The court had ordered Imran Khan to ensure his presence during the court proceedings.

Meanwhile, security has been tightened on the roads leading to the court, and a heavy contingent of police is deployed outside the court on Imran Khan’s arrival while the road toward the judicial complex has been closed to the public.
