Pakistani court cancels former PM Imran Khan's pre-arrest bail; makes it difficult for him to escape jail

Lahore, Aug 11 (PTI) A Pakistani court on Friday cancelled the pre-arrest bail of former prime minister Imran Khan in seven terrorism cases, including an attack on a senior military officer's house here, following his failure to appear before the court since he is in jail after he was sentenced in a corruption case.

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Khan has been lodged in Attock Jail since August 5 after he was sentenced to three years in a corruption case by a trial court in the Toshakhana corruption case.

"Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) Lahore Judge Ejaz Ahmad Buttar cancelled the pre-bail of Imran Khan in seven terrorism cases including an attack on the Corps Commander House in Lahore on his non-appearance," a court official on Friday told PTI after the hearing.
