International Desk: A court in Islamabad of Pakistan on Wednesday issued non-bailable arrest warrants for PTI Chairman Imran Khan in a case related to alleged threats made to a judge, and directed the authorities to present him before the court on April 18.<\/p>\n
In the last hearing on March 24, the court converted the non-bailable arrest warrant issued for the PTI chief into a bailable warrant at the PTI\u2019s request while hearing a case registered against the ex-premier for allegedly using threatening language against Additional District and Sessions Judge Zeba Chaudhry and the Islamabad police officials.<\/p>\n
Today, prosecutor Rizwan Abbasi appeared in Judicial Magistrate Malik Aman\u2019s court. Imran was represented by his counsel Faisal Chaudhry.<\/p>\n
At the outset of the hearing, the prosecutor objected to Imran\u2019s absence, saying his warrants should be changed from bailable to non-bailable as he failed to appear before the court.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are done with his excuses regarding the Wazirabad incident. Did he not provide a similar excuse when he appeared before another court two days ago?\u201d Rizwan asked.<\/p>\n
He pointed out that Imran\u2019s request for exemption from attendance had been granted in each hearing.<\/p>\n
He also cited the judge\u2019s statement from the last hearing, in which the judge stated that Imran\u2019s warrants had been issued due to his persistent absence from the proceedings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
