Imran Khan arrest update: PTI supporters storm army establishment in Peshawar
Imran Khan arrest update: PTI supporters storm army establishment in PeshawarUpset over the arrest of former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan by Pak Rangers, thousands of his supporters on Wednesday stormed an army establishment in Peshawar, a stronghold of Imran Khan.
The Rangers, which operate under the Interior Ministry, are usually commanded by officers on secondment from the army.
Videos started circulating on Twitter of Khan's supporters burning vehicles near Peshawar Cantonment.
Videos have also emerged of Peshawar Police resorting to shelling on PTI workers.
Supporters of Imran Khan are planning to march to Islamabad on Wednesday where the former Pakistan prime minister is in custody in a corruption case, raising fears of more clashes with security forces.
Mobile data services in the country were shut while Twitter, YouTube and Facebook were disrupted. Television carried watered-down coverage of violence that erupted on Tuesday.
Khan was arrested from the Islamabad High Court on Tuesday by Pakistan's anti-corruption agency. Police said a court hearing would take place at the police guest house where he is being held.
