Arrest warrant against Pakistan ex-PM Imran Khan has been suspended, his lawyers say, clearing the way for him to end a holdout at his residence that led to bloody clashes between supporters and police earlier this week
After the suspension of arrest warrant, Imran Khan's lawyers say the former Pakistan prime minister will appear in the court on March 18.
Khan was ousted by a no-confidence vote last year and has been snarled in dozens of legal cases as he campaigns for early elections and a return to office. Attempts by police this week to arrest the 70-year-old former international cricket star in the eastern city of Lahore led to pitched battles with supporters outside his home.
