Jailed former prime minister Imran Khan on Saturday filed a petition in the Lahore High Court requesting pre-arrest bail in eight cases involving the May 9 violence.

In his plea, Khan, 72, argued he was in NAB custody in Islamabad at the time of the incidents and had been falsely implicated as part of political victimisation. He further stated that he has been facing legal actions related to these cases for the past two years.

Khan termed the cases against him as an act of “political revenge”.
