Hours after he threatened to cause nationwide unrest if he were detained again in any other case, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan was granted protective bail by the Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Friday in the Al-Qadir Trust case.

Khan had warned of nationwide upheaval in the event of his arrest over the course of the proceedings.

Following the chanting of pro-Khan chants during the first session of the hearing, a two-member special division bench of the Islamabad High Court (IHC) adjourned the hearing on Khan’s bail request.
