A Pakistani court on Friday granted two-week bail to former PM Imran Khan in the Al-Qadir Trust case.

He was granted bail just a day after  the Supreme Court termed his arrest from the IHC premises “invalid and unlawful”.

A division bench comprising Justice Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb and Justice Saman Rafat Imtiaz heard the PTI chief’s bail plea at courtroom No.2, reports Dawn News.

DawnNewsTV reported that Imran’s lawyers had also filed four additional pleas which urged the IHC to club all the cases against Imran and to direct authorities to provide details of the cases registered against him.

Meanwhile, Khan said NAB officials treated him “fine” but hastened to add that he was hit on the head while being arrested.

He further said that he was also not able to get in touch with his wife Bushra Bibi. “I asked the NAB team to let me talk [to her]. They let me talk to her on the landline,” he said.

Talking about violent protests in the country, he was quoted as saying by Dawn News, “How could I have stopped whatever happened? I had already told [you] that there would be a reaction to the arrest.

“When I was [taken into custody], then how can I be responsible?” the former premier asked.
