On May 9, former Pakistan national cricket team captain and current Prime Minister Imran Khan was arrested inside the Islamabad High Court.
The arrest was made in connection with the Al-Qadir Trust case, in which Khan is accused of corrupt practises under Section 9(a) of the National Accountability Ordinance, 1999.
Wasim Akram, Khan's former national teammate, offered his support for him on Twitter. "You are one man, but you have the strength of millions," Akram wrote. Keep going, skipper. #BehindYouSkipper.”
