Imran Khan Charged with Attempted Murder Amidst Violent Protests

The former Pakistani Prime Minister faces new charges following the death of a police officer during clashes between his supporters and police.

Imran Khan, imprisoned since 2023, is accused of inciting violence leading to the death of officer Abdul Hameed.
The protests in Islamabad saw tens of thousands of Khan's supporters rallying, resulting in a complete lockdown of the capital.
Khan has been involved in over 150 legal cases since his ouster in 2022, with several convictions overturned on appeal.
Authorities have charged Khan and others with defying a ban on public rallies and attacking security forces.
Khan maintains his innocence, claiming the charges are politically motivated efforts to sideline him.
