Ex-PM Imran Khan arrested outside court in Pakistan

Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has been arrested by paramilitary officers outside the High Court in the capital Islamabad, BBC reported.

Mr Khan was appearing in court on charges of corruption, which he says are politically motivated.

Reports said Mr Khan was detained by forces in armoured personnel carriers after entering the court compound.

He was ousted as PM in April last year and has been campaigning for early elections since then.
