Pakistani police on Wednesday formally named former Prime Minister Imran Khan in connection with the murder by unknown gunmen of a lawyer seeking sedition proceedings against him. Police registered an "abetment to murder" case against former cricket hero Khan, 70, who faces dozens of charges since his ouster in a parliamentary vote of confidence in April last year. Khan has dismissed all the cases against him as concocted by his opponents. In a live online broadcast, Khan denied the allegations adding that he would appear in court on Thursday to seek bail for 16 other cases. “This case was one of the several filed against me and was never going to proceed, but now I have been charged with murder,” he said. “I am going to Islamabad tomorrow to get bail in 16 cases, but I am prepared to go to jail as I know they will detain me again,” Khan said in a video posted on PTI social media account on Wednesday. Provincial government spokesman Babar Khan said Khan could face formal charges if and when the murder case goes to trial. Abdur Razaq, the murdered lawyer, had filed a court petition seeking sedition proceedings against Khan for dissolving his government after the no-confidence motion. Razaq was on his way to court on Tuesday when gunmen on a motorcycle shot and killed him, police said. Razaq's son, Siraj Ahmad, also a lawyer, told police that his father had been killed by unknown men with the "abetment of the former prime minister", according to a police report filed by him and seen by Reuters.
