Pakistani police detained Khan in May in connection with a corruption case that caused deadly riots across the country. Within a few days, he was released on bail.

It was unclear which charge the Election Commission’s ruling linked to or whether police would follow through on the warrant. Geo did not reveal its source.
Since his dismissal, Khan has faced a slew of charges in various organisations and tribunals, including bribery, murder, and sedition.
Last Monday, Pakistan’s interior minister announced that the government would initiate criminal procedures against Khan on grounds of disclosing public secrets in relation to diplomatic contacts between Washington and Islamabad.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
