After the loss of office, various cases of corruption, fraud and death threats were registered against Imran Khan. According to the Pakistan Police Department, there are more than 100 cases against him and he is currently arrested in the Qadir Foundation case. It has been alleged that a corruption of Rs 5,000 crore has been carried out by the Qadir Trust, owned by Imran Khan and his wife.

In this case, the Anti-Corruption Commission issued an order to arrest Imran Khan on May 1 and it has been reported that the arrest has been carried out following this.
