Watch: Imran Khan meets supporters in gas mask as police retreats

As soon as police teams and Pakistan Rangers started retreating from outside his residence in Lahore, Imran Khan stepped out donning a gas mask and met the party workers.

The Lahore High Court has stayed action against the former Pakistan prime minister till 10 am on March 16.

Lahore's Zaman Park area was turned into a battleground after 70-year-old Khan's defiant supporters engaged in pitched battles with policemen on Tuesday to stop them from arresting their leader in the Toshakhana case, resulting in injuries on both sides.

The injured were shifted to Lahore's hospitals and police arrested dozens of Khan's supporters.

Citing hospital sources, Geo News reported that at least 54 policemen and eight civilians were injured in the clashes that have been ongoing since Tuesday afternoon. Khan’s supporters clashed repeatedly with police overnight.
