Former Prime Minister Imran Khan is granted bail by a Pakistani court.

ISLAMABAD — Following his shocking arrest earlier this week, a Pakistani court has granted former Prime Minister Imran Khan bail in multiple cases against him.

In one meeting on Friday, a two-judge seat of the Islamabad High Court conceded fourteen days' bail to Khan in a debasement case. Khan was detained by paramilitary forces from within the court as a result of the same case. They crushed open an office to remove him.

In one more meeting on Friday, an adjudicator conceded Khan bail until next Wednesday in a progression of bodies of evidence documented against him since his capture on Tuesday.

Protests all over the country have been sparked by Khan's arrest, including unprecedented civilian attacks on the most powerful institution in the country—the police and army—installations. A corps commander's house in Lahore was set on fire and a gate to the army's main headquarters was broken down by protesters.

In court on Friday, Khan told reporters that he thought Pakistan's army chief was to blame for his problems and that the chief was effectively running the country. "The army chief is running us all," Khan told NPR.

He said he accepted security powers would attempt capture him to guarantee his preclusion from decisions, and claimed that there were plans to kill him. Khan claims that an attempt to kill him was made when he was shot in the leg at a rally in November.

"Everyone is aware that we will prevail in any election," they say. They are frozen that assuming I come in, I will consider them responsible," he said. " They are extorting ransom from the entire nation."

Khan's accusations were not immediately addressed by the military, but similar allegations have previously troubled Khan.

An army spokesman said in a statement that Khan had "leveled highly irresponsible and baseless allegations against a serving senior military officer without any evidence" and that his claims were "extremely unfortunate, deplorable, and unacceptable" in response to similar claims that he made last weekend when he named a serving intelligence officer.

Khan was detained the subsequent day.

Pakistan's Supreme Court declared Khan's arrest on Tuesday "unlawful" on Thursday and ordered his immediate release.

"Government pundits will hail this legal activism as verification that vote based system is as yet alive," says Michael Kugelman, overseer of the Wilson Place's South Asia Community. " However, it also indicates that we are witnessing two concurrent conflicts, one between Khan and the state and the other between the Supreme Court and the state. These two simultaneous clashes run the risk of significantly escalating Pakistan's political instability against the backdrop of the unfolding political chaos.
