LAHORE, Pakistan (AP) — Pakistani police are scuffling with former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s supporters outside his home in the eastern city of Lahore. About a dozen officers and some 35 Khan supporters were injured in the violence Tuesday. Police arrived to arrest Khan for failing to appear in court on graft charges, police and officials said. Khan is charged with illegally selling state gifts he had received during his term as premier and concealing his assets. Khan, who was ousted in a no-confidence vote in Parliament last April, has claimed that a string of legal cases against him, which includes terrorism charges, are a plot to discredit him.
