Previous attempts to arrest Khan from his Lahore home resulted in heavy clashes between his supporters and law enforcement personnel.

Reports suggest that he is arrested in a case related to one Al-Qadir Trust. The National Accountability (NAB) issued an arrest warrant for Khan on May 1 in relation to the case.
