Cheema replied to Khan stating that they had sent a "message to them and we are sitting in the high court now. We demanded them to bring Khan Sahib before us, otherwise we will not leave (the high court premises)". Khan criticised his arrest and said whatever they have done is "malicious".

"You should also initiate a proceeding in the Supreme Court against whatever they have done today. What is Chief Justice doing," the former Pakistan PM was heard saying in the purported video.

Cheema then apprised Khan, "NAB officials have just come here and we questioned them. We asked Salman Safdar to tell them to present him before the court, otherwise, we will not leave. Your case will also be heard by the Chief Justice."

Khan replied, "No, he receives orders from them. You should talk to Azam and ask him to talk with the other people."

On Thursday, the Supreme Court termed Khan's arrest by Pakistan's anti-corruption body as illegal and ruled that the PTI chief should be released immediately. Khan was under the custody of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).
