In a video shared on the official Twitter account of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, Khan was seen entering the Islamabad High Court (IHC) with his security personnel carrying bulletproof shields.

The court, in its May 12 order, had said that Khan should not be arrested in various cases, including undeclared cases, registered in the country till May 15.
