Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan was arrested Tuesday after facing multiple corruption charges at Islamabad High Court.

Khan, 70, was dragged outside and pushed into a police vehicle by agents of the National Accountability Bureau of Pakistan. The sudden arrest sparked outrage and protests across the nation.

Prior to his arrest, Khan said he was “prepared to go to jail," claiming he does not "have any case against [him] that warrants arrest."

The arrest comes at a time when Pakistan is in the midst of its worst financial crisis in decades. It also follows a dispute between Khan and the military after the former PM claimed two personnel had tried to assassinate him in the city of Wazirabad, after opening fire at a protest march which was headed to Pakistan’s capital, Islamabad.
