Clashes between Pakistani police and Imran Khan’s supporters escalated outside the former prime minister’s home in Lahore on Wednesday as officers failed to arrest the embattled opposition leader for not showing up to court on corruption charges.

The doorstep of Khan’s home in the eastern city remained a battleground on Wednesday as riot police swarmed the wider Zaman Park neighborhood and the violence stretched into a second day.

Khan’s supporters hurled stones and projectiles at police while people inside his residence lit fires after officers fired tear gas into the compound.

The violence began on Tuesday as Khan’s supporters gathered outside his residence to protest against attempts to arrest him. Police fired tear gas and used water cannons in an effort to disperse them, footage shared by Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party and local media showed.

Pakistan's main opposition leader Imran Khan says the authorities are acting outside the law in their attempt to arrest him.

"They should all be subject to the law of the land," he told the BBC.

Police have clashed with supporters of Mr Khan, a former prime minister, outside his residence as they tried to detain him on a court order.

He/She who runs for office in Pakistan is a fool. This is the first commandment of politics in Pakistan.

Disobey at your own risk.
