Police arrest Pakistan ex-PM Imran Khan's sister ahead of march

Police arrest Pakistan ex-PM Imran Khan's sister ahead of march

Police have arrested Aleema Khan, the sister of Pakistan's jailed ex-prime minister Imran Khan, at her house in Lahore, according to a spokesperson from his political party. Imran Khan, 73, has been incarcerated since 2023 following his conviction in a corruption case and is currently lodged in the high-security Adiala Jail, as per Hindustan Times - World News.

The arrest of Aleema Khan comes ahead of a planned march, although further details about the march are not available in the reports.

Reports also mention an unrelated incident in Nigeria, where operatives of the Federal Capital Territory Police Command arrested approximately 300 persons in a raid on identified crime flashpoints, shanties, and incomplete buildings across the FCT. However, this incident appears to be unrelated to the arrest of Aleema Khan.
