The court ordered PTI chairman Imran Khan to become part of the investigation process and appear before the investigation officer.

The special court accepted former prime minister Imran Khan’s plea seeking today’s exemption from appearance.
The court extended the pre-arrest interim bail of the former prime minister until January 31 in a funding case.
