Imran Khan faces 76 cases in Islamabad, IHC told

The total number of cases registered against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan has risen to 76, according to a report submitted by the Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) police.

The updated count includes 14 additional cases that were filed after the D-Chowk protest, bringing the total cases against him in the federal capital from 62 to 76.

The Islamabad High Court (IHC) recently disposed of a petition filed by Imran Khan’s sister, Noreen Niazi, which sought details of the cases registered against him.

In response to the petition, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) and the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) provided the court with details of the ongoing cases against the PTI leader.

Interior Secretary submitted reports detailing cases registered against Imran Khan in other provinces, including Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh, and Balochistan.

After reviewing all the relevant reports and details from various agencies, the court concluded its proceedings and dismissed Noreen Niazi’s petition.

The case details were compiled from multiple sources, and no further action was deemed necessary.

Imran Khan has faced legal challenges from multiple authorities following his ouster from power in April 2022, with numerous cases filed against him related to charges ranging from terrorism to corruption and incitement.

His political party, PTI, has been in the midst of protests, especially following Khan’s arrest and subsequent legal battles.

The increase in the number of cases against Imran Khan reflects the continuing legal and political pressures he faces.

However, his supporters remain active in challenging these legal actions, claiming they are politically motivated.
