ISLAMABAD, Pakistan—Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan was arrested on corruption charges Tuesday, government officials said, escalating a confrontation between the opposition politician and the country’s civilian and military leaders.
Mr. Khan, who is attempting a comeback just over a year after being ousted from power, was detained as he arrived at a court in Islamabad to appear for a hearing in another case. The government has filed dozens of cases against Mr. Khan since he lost a confidence vote in Parliament in April last year, allegations that he says are politically motivated.
