Pak ruling alliance hails ex-PM Imran's conviction, arrest in corruption case
Islamabad, Aug 5 (PTI) Pakistan’s ruling alliance on Saturday welcomed former prime minister Imran Khan's three-year prison sentence and his arrest in a corruption case.
Khan, 70, was arrested from his Zaman Park home in Lahore on Saturday shortly after an Islamabad trial court found him guilty of “corrupt practices” in the Toshakhana corruption case and sentenced him to three-year imprisonment.
Additional Judge Humayun Dilawar of the Islamabad-based district and sessions court also imposed a fine of Rs 100,000 on Khan and noted that the chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party would be kept in jail for another six months if he failed to pay the fine
