Pakistan court cancels arrest warrants for ex-PM Imran Khan

A court in Pakistan has cancelled arrest warrants for former Prime Minister Imran Khan in a corruption case, according to Khan's lawyer.

Faisal Fareed Chaudhry, part of Khan's legal team, said that the court in the capital, Islamabad, adjourned the session and instructed the former prime minister to ensure his presence at the next hearing on March 30.

The cancellation of the warrants came after Khan officially marked his appearance at the court. Khan's vehicle reached the gate of the court building on Saturday amid clashes between supporters of Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party and police.

Earlier on Saturday (Mar 18), police in Lahore carried out a raid at Khan's residence, breaking down the entrance gate to gain access.
