As the cost of living in Pakistan rose, the country's opposition parties — made up of the dynastic families Mr Khan once toppled — said he had failed to revive the economy and united to form a no-confidence motion against him. The tension between the prime minister and the military might have given Mr Khan's opponents an opportunity to pounce, according to Omar Qureshi, former media adviser to one of the leaders of Mr Khan's rival parties, Billawal Bhutto. The PTI spokesperson, Fawad Chaudhry, alleged that police had come to arrest him as well but he had sought preventive bail from the Islamabad high court.

Sex, or at least the idea of it, is never far from Imran Khan," an article in Indian magazine Caravan said. Two weeks ago, the special court had rejected the post-arrest bail applications of Imran and Qureshi, noting that “sufficient incriminating evidence is available” against them.

Across the country, violence continued after Khan’s arrest. At least four people were shot dead and 84 were injured after clashes broke out between protesters and police in the city of Peshawar, according to a local hospital. Vehicles were torched and the building of Radio Pakistan was set alight. Another person died from smoke inhalation after a building was set ablaze in Lahore.Members of Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party called the former prime minister’s arrest a “state abduction” and said the makeshift hearing in the police station was a “kangaroo court”, claiming senior lawyers and figures from the party were being prevented from meeting Khan.

Insp Gen Akbar Nasir Khan, of Islamabad police, urged calm and said the situation in Islamabad was normal. However, in an attempt to prevent protest, a section 144 was imposed in the city to prevent gatherings of more than five people and internet was cut off in some areas. The interior minister, Rana Sanaullah, said Khan’s arrest was because of his failure to turn up to hearings in a corruption case and denied all allegations of torture. “The arrest has been conducted by the National Accountability Bureau for causing losses to the national treasury,” he said. While no leader has ever completed a full five-year parliamentary tenure in Pakistan, it is believed a falling out with the military resulted in Mr Khan being sensationally ousted in April. We will stand with you, not because I am shouting political slogans, but because it is my duty to stand with the weaker class," he told a rally of 100,000 people in Lahore in 2011.Late on Tuesday the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office issued a new travel warning advising against travel to several regions of Pakistan, and saying that “further disruption should be expected.” This incident had the hallmarks of what Mr Khan's opponents say was to come in his political career: deception, defensiveness, and accusations directed at the West. He went on to Oxford, where he captained the university's team while studying politics and philosophy.

But will it work? The ABC has spoken to some of Mr Khan's closest allies, Pakistani experts, and staunch opponents who are all split on whether he can succeed in becoming prime minister again. And last year, human rights groups accused Mr Khan of being an apologist for rapists following comments he made on an increase in sexual assaults. He was a young boy who was very smart and all the girls from universities were after him, but I never thought about him in this way.A day earlier, Chief Justice Farooq allowed the PTI chief’s petition for his transfer to Adiala Jail. Khan’s lawyer, Khawaja Harris, said he had requested that the hearing took place in a public court rather than behind closed doors in the police station, and he had not received the NAB’s inquiry report on the case. “Everyone has the right to a fair trial,” he said. Speaking outside the police station, he claimed Khan had not been given food or a bed to sleep on overnight in the police cell where he was being held.

He lost their support and many of his coalition partners with him also slipped away, thinking that he may not be in power," he said. He said he never drank alcohol as part of his commitment to his Islamic faith, but he still gained a reputation as a playboy on the London nightclub scene.Because in Pakistan, governance not only means you manage the political forces, but you also deal with powerful state institutions like the army." The governance was poor, political management was also not properly managed, and he did not show the kind of political accommodation that is needed in Pakistan to govern. But ultimately things started to unravel for Mr Khan once he lost the support of the powerful army, according to analysts. The five-year curse of Pakistan's PMs Khan had travelled to Islamabad on Tuesday morning to seek bail in two corruption cases, some of dozens involving corruption, sedition and terrorism that he is facing. Imran Khan was casually dressed when he stepped off a bus in Pakistan's biggest city of Lahore to kisses and hugs from so many fans he could barely breathe.
