A security walk-through gate at the Federal Judicial Complex in Islamabad was uprooted on Thursday as a charged crowd surrounded PTI Chairman Imran Khan when he arrived to seek a pre-arrest bail in a terror case.

Strict security arrangements had been made around and inside the judicial complex on the occasion therefore the former prime minister had to walk towards the anti-terrorism court present inside the judicial complex as he wasn't allowed to advance in his car.

A video of Imran Khan's arrival surfaced soon after he appeared in the ATC, in which he and other PTI leaders including former information technology minister Shibli Faraz were seen being pushed badly by the crowd.

As people stormed through, the security walk-through gate was pulled off the ground.
