Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah has said that police personnel who were part of security outside the Bani Gala residence of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan would arrest the former prime minister after his bail expired.
In a series of tweets on social networking site Twitter, the Home Minister welcomed Imran Khan's return from Peshawar to Islamabad.
The PTI chief had returned to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa after the party's 'Independence March', which started in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, ended abruptly in Islamabad.

PTI leader Shahbaz Gill has since claimed that the security provided to the former prime minister has been removed.
Rana Sanaullah said in his tweets today that "Imran Khan welcomes Niazi on his return to Islamabad, he is being provided security as per law".
He said that Imran Khan Niazi has been named as an accused in more than two dozen cases registered in the country for rioting, sedition, spreading chaos and armed attacks on the federation.

He wrote that "the same security provided in accordance with the law on the expiry of judicial bail will arrest Imran Niazi with great enthusiasm."
The Home Minister said that a person who has created chaos in the country and who is totally devoid of moral and democratic values and used to call his opponents as traitors and Yazid, how can he be the head of a political party in a democratic society. Is? This is a moment of reflection for the whole nation.

The PTI chairman was also directed to appear before the Islamabad Sessions Court by June 25.
