Imran Khan acquitted in 2022 vandalism cases

Imran Khan, the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), has been acquitted by a local court in Islamabad in two cases related to vandalism in 2022. The court approved Khan's plea due to a lack of sufficient evidence presented by the prosecution. The cases, dating back to 2022, were registered against Khan for his involvement in a long march and violation of Article 144.

After the May 9 riots, Khan and other PTI leaders were detained in Adiala jail for months. The violence erupted following Khan's arrest, with PTI workers allegedly storming military installations. This led to a crackdown by authorities, resulting in the arrest of numerous PTI workers and leaders across the country in post-May 9 actions.

Imran Khan's acquittal in the vandalism cases marks a significant development in the ongoing legal proceedings against him. The lack of evidence presented by the prosecution has resulted in Khan being cleared of the charges. This decision has implications for the future of PTI and its leadership, as they navigate the aftermath of the May 9 riots and work towards rebuilding their image.
