• Toshakhana Case: In August 2022, MNAs from the Pakistan Democratic Movement filed the Toshakhana case against Imran Khan. The reason behind this legal action was his failure to disclose the specific details of the Toshakhana presents in his annual asset report to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP). The ECP initiated an investigation into the matter and eventually reached a final decision on October 21, 2022. As a result, Imran Khan was disqualified from holding public office due to his involvement in dishonest conduct, the fabrication of information, and the submission of an inaccurate declaration, as stated in the reference under Article 63(1)(p) of the constitution of Pakistan. Following this verdict, Khan organized the Azadi March II as a form of protest. On 7 July 2023, Imran Khan petitioned in Supreme Court against the Islamabad High Court's directive to the trial court that had asked for a re-examination of the maintainability of the Toshakhana corruption case within a week. On 5 August 2023, the trial court sentenced him to three year jail term following which he was arrested from his home in Lahore.

After his arrest, Pakistan experienced a period of unrest with increased anti-government protests. Usman Dar, who is recognized as one of Imran Khan's closest aides, talked about this in an interview in October 2023. He asserted that Imran Khan was the mastermind behind the events of May 9, alleging that Khan had planned to target sensitive installations during a meeting.
