Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan arrested by paramilitary police (click to watch video)

Paramilitary troops broke into a courthouse in Islamabad on Tuesday to detain former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on multiple corruption charges.

After Khan was ousted last year, the dramatic and sudden arrest of the former cricket star turned leader is the latest chapter in months of ongoing political turmoil in the nuclear-armed nation.

According to court documents seen by CNN, the nation's anti-corruption agency, the National Accountability Bureau, arrested Khan in Islamabad on charges brought by the agency.

He was presenting his biometric information for a court appearance when paramilitary powers separated a window to get to him prior to securing him, as found in a video gave to CNN by his party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).

In the video, paramilitary powers went after Islamabad High Court premises prior to capturing Khan who observed aloofness at the unfurling turmoil while wearing dim shades.

In a separate video that the PTI sent to CNN, paramilitary soldiers were seen descending from cars and waving batons prior to the arrest.

Khan said he was "confined on mistaken charges" in a pre-recorded explanation delivered on YouTube by PTI after his capture.

"By the time you read this, I will have been arrested on false charges, and the Pakistani constitution, which gives us rights and democracy, has been buried," I said. It's possible that I won't get another chance to talk to you.

Khan claims in the video proclamation, "I have consistently adhered to the law. I am being apprehended so that I will not be able to pursue my political career in support of the fundamental rights of this nation and so that I will have to submit to this dishonest government that has been imposed on us.

Khan spoke to his allies to "emerge for your crucial privileges; Freedom is not handed to every nation; the opportunity has arrived for every one of you to come and battle for your privileges."

Fawad Chaudhry, a spokesperson for the PTI, stated that Khan had been "whisked away by unknown people to an unknown location" and that his arrest was an "abduction."

Khan, 72, was ousted from office in a no-confidence vote in the parliamentary system last year. Since then, he has led a popular campaign against the government led by Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif, claiming that the government conspired with the military to remove him from office.

He has been the target of a growing number of lawsuits and multiple arrest warrants, which has led to arguments with his backers.

Khan has been refuted as "biased" by multiple allegations of corruption made against him while he was in office. He asserts that the allegations against him are political.

After officers attempted to arrest Khan in March for failing to appear in court on corruption charges, the streets outside of his residence in Lahore became something of a pitched battle between his supporters and the law enforcement agency.

Supporters hurled projectiles and stones at police, and after officers fired tear gas into Khan's residence, residents started a fire.

After that, the police cut off the electricity to Khan's house and turned off the street lights in the area. In the end, the operation was called off.

Financial emergency

The cricket legend-turned-legislator has blamed Pakistani experts for endeavoring to capture him to eliminate him from the battleground in front of an overall political race planned for October.

During the March riots outside his residence, Khan told CNN, "[The government] are petrified that if I come into power, I will hold them accountable."

"They likewise know that regardless of whether I go to prison, we will swing the races regardless of what they do."

In exchange for the release of a $1.1 billion loan installment, the fund has offered a set of conditions. It incorporates changing the rupee's conversion scale and increasing government rates.
