Police in Pakistan have filed terrorism and other charges against former prime minister Imran Khan, as well as 17 of his aides and scores of his supporters.
The move on Sunday came after the ousted premier’s followers clashed with security forces in the country’s capital of Islamabad a day before.
Mr Khan’s followers came to blows with police outside a court for several hours on Saturday, where the 70-year-old former prime minister was due to appear to face corruption charges.
Petrol bombs and stones were also hurled at police as Mr Khan’s home was raided.
Officers responded with tear gas as they clashed with baton-wielding supporters of the politician in the eastern city of Lahore on Saturday and arrested 59 people during the violence.
During the operation, a man on the roof of the sprawling compound opened fire.
At least 50 officers were injured and several cars and motorcycles were torched at a police checkpoint too.
