Imran Khan & I went to check on detained friends, not to protest: Lekha Washington. Imran Khan's partner, Lekha Washington, said they went to August Kranti Maidan to check on detained friends amid the protest. Clarifying they weren't part of a "gathering", she claimed uniformed personnel "grabbed" them as Imran answered media questions, before forcing them into a van. An FIR was filed against Imran, with calls to deport him, an OCI cardholder, for attending.
