Pakistanโ€™s former prime minister Imran Khan left court late Friday after being granted bail, following his arrest in a graft case which was declared unlawful by the Supreme Court.

Khanโ€™s party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) confirmed he had left the court premises and was heading for the city of Lahore, some 380 kilometers from the capital Islamabad.

โ€œWe have now left for Lahore. The police tried to confine us saying itโ€™s dangerous out there. When we insisted that you are kidnapping us. Only then they relented. In about three hours we will reach Lahore,” Imran Khan said in a video message posted on PTI twitter.
