Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan was arrested by paramilitary forces in Islamabad on Tuesday on charges made by the country's anti-corruption agency. The former cricket legend and populist firebrand was submitting biometric data for a court appearance when he was apprehended. Khan had been leading a popular campaign against the current government, accusing it of colluding with the military to oust him. He was ousted in a parliamentary no-confidence vote last year and has faced multiple legal cases against him. Khan claims that the charges against him are political. The arrest will intensify the showdown between Khan and the current government, led by Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif.
