Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan was arrested in the GHQ attack case on Tuesday, soon after his release warrant was issued in the cypher case.
The hearing of cases related to the May 9 riots against the former prime minister commenced at the Adiala jail through video link and was attended by multiple station house officers (SHO).
SHO Royal Artillery (RA) Baazar requested the court to grant physical remand of Imran in the GHQ attack case.

A day earlier, the special court formed to hear cases under the Official Secrets Act had issued the release orders of PTI founder in cypher case.
Judge Abul Hasnat Zulqarnain issued the release order of Inrab, stating that the former premier’s bail had been approved and he shall be released if not wanted in any other case.
Despite having the release order, Imran remains behind bars due to being arrested in the Toshakhna and 190 million pound Al-Qadir Trust scandal.
The May 9 riots pertain to the attacks on state installations last year, following the arrest of then Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman in a corruption case. The installations, which were attacked, included the army’s General Headquarters in Rawalpindi and the corps commander house in Lahore.
