Geo news said Imran's wife has been taken into custody. Meanwhile, Pakistan opposition leader said that they will challenge the order.

The allegations centre on the acceptance of land from a property magnate in return for facilitating money laundering during Khan's tenure as Prime Minister.

The prosecution contends that the businessman, Malik Riaz, received permission from Khan to settle penalties in a separate case using the same laundered funds, amounting to 190 million British pounds ($240 million), which British authorities had returned to Pakistan's national treasury in 2022.

Since his arrest in 2023, Imran Khan has consistently maintained his innocence, asserting that the charges are fabricated by his opponents to prevent his political comeback.
