0:52Now PlayingProtesters clashed with authorities in several cities across Pakistan, including attacks directed at the powerful military, after former premier Imran Khan was arrested as part of a graft probe, escalating the cash-strapped country’s political crisis.
Violence broke out Tuesday after Khan, 70, was detained in the capital Islamabad and taken to the National Accountability Bureau’s headquarters. A video shared by his party showed dozens of paramilitary troops from the Pakistan Rangers escorting Khan into a black SUV, while others beat back some of his supporters in a court complex.
A separate video from his party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, showed supporters, some with sticks and face masks, entering the army’s headquarters in the garrison city of Rawalpindi. Protesters also stormed the official residence of the top regional commander in Lahore, a rare breach of an area controlled by the military. Both sites were later cleared.
