  "account": "Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan's sisters, Aleema Khan and Dr Uzma Khan, were arrested by Pakistani law enforcement agencies in Lahore, the capital of Punjab province. According to statements from Khan's party, his other sister, Noreen Khan, was also arrested alongside her children. However, the children were later released, leaving the two sisters and their children detained. The three women were transported to Kot Lakhpat Jail in Lahore. Punjab police have issued two separate orders for their 30-day detention under the Maintenance of Public Order law. Imran Khan's party has called for a protest on September 27, but the Information Minister dismissed the call as illegal and vowed to prevent any disruption to public life. Imran Khan, who has been incarcerated since 2023, is currently serving a 17-year sentence on corruption charges he denies.",
