Imran Khan

Earlier in the week Lahore police tried to arrest Mr Khan after he missed a hearing, and officers clashed with supporters outside his home. "I won't be able to campaign - that's the whole thing," he said. The government says the charges against him have nothing to do with politics.

Khan, 70, now in the opposition, was ousted in a no-confidence vote in parliament last April.

Both Washington and Sharif’s government have denied the allegations. He said in Islamabad, many of Khan’s supporters were armed. He condemned the action and demanded those responsible be punished under law.

Separately on Saturday, police stormed Khan’s home in Lahore shortly after he left for the court in Islamabad and baton-charged dozens of his supporters there before rounding them up, according to television footage, witnesses, and police officials. Khan also has accused the government of unleashing a crackdown on leaders and workers of his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party to deter them from participating in elections later this year. Provincial police chief Usman Anwar told reporters the operation was aimed at removing encroachments and blockades erected by PTI supporters outside Khan’s residence in the upscale Zaman Park neighborhood. His close aide, Shireen Mazari, denounced the police for attacking PTI supporters. Khan, the head of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, denies corruption allegations, calling them politically motivated. Officials claimed that law enforcement personnel fired massive tear gas shells to disperse the crowd after stones were thrown at them.

Former Pakistani PM and cricket legend Imran Khan is on trial for a string of corruption charges after being ousted from power.

Khan was expected to appear in an Islamabad court on Saturday after a top court on Friday suspended his arrest warrant, giving him a reprieve to travel to Islamabad and face the charges levelled against him without being detained. Mr Khan, who was shot and wounded while campaigning in November, said the threat to his life is greater than ever before, and claimed- without evidence- that his political opponents and the military want to block him from standing in elections later this year. Witnesses said police attempted to disperse Khan supporters by firing tear gas and chased them to several homes in the Zaman Park neighbourhood. He said baton-wielding Khan supporters attempted to resist police by throwing stones and petrol bombs, but the officers moved on until a man on the roof of Khan’s residence opened fire. The former PM has been holed up at his home in Lahore since Tuesday, after failing to appear at an earlier hearing in the case against him. Police in Pakistan stormed the home of former prime minister Imran Khan in the eastern city of Lahore on Saturday, arresting 30 people and deploying tear gas after ‘bulldozing the main gate.’
