Security beefed up as PTI chief appears in contempt case; Fawad Chaudhry, other PTI leaders barred from entry
PTI Chief Imran Khan has arrived at the Islamabad High Court to appear in the contempt of court case against him.
Hundreds of security personnel have been deployed at the court since Thursday noon.
Before Imran Khan left his Bani Gala residence, several PTI leaders arrived at the court, but security officials stopped Fawad Chaudhry, Shehazad Waseem and others whose names were not found on the list provided by the Registrar’s Office.
On the instruction of judges, the court staff have installed a projector and a screen in courtroom No. 1.
Speaking to reporters Imran Khan expressed displeasure over the heavy deployment, saying that there are so many security personnel as if Indian spy Kulbhushan Jadhav was going to appear before the court.
He also said that he would become ‘more dangerous’ if sent to jail.
Imran Khan then refused to speak more saying that his comments may be misconstrued by the court.
He said he will speak to reporters after the hearing.
The former cricketer also said that he did not watch yesterday’s match between Pakistan and Afghanistan cricket teams.
Two senior superintendents of police (SSPs) are among 778 police personnel deployed at the court, which is also being monitored by Safe City cameras.
The court is set to meet at 2pm. A five-member larger bench headed by Islamabad High Court Chief Justice Athar Minallah will hear the contempt case against the PTI chief.
