Khan, an alumnus of Oxford University, is currently languishing in a jail in the garrison city of Rawalpindi, seeking bail in multiple cases, which range from corruption to inciting violence.

Khan denies the allegations.

His two convictions have been set aside, while a third has been suspended by courts.

Khan, 72, was ousted through a no-trust vote in April 2022, over a year before the completion of his five-year stint.
