Khan was taken into custody on Monday by authorities following a hearing on the Al-Qadir Trust case. 

The former Premier's detention followed months of political crisis and came hours after the powerful military criticized the former PM for accusing a senior officer of being involved in a plot to assassinate him.

On Tuesday, Pakistan's authorities said Khan was facing an inquiry by the National Accountability Bureau in the Al-Qadir Trust case involving the PTI and a property Tycoon.

A deal struck between the two parties reportedly caused the loss of 50 billion Pakistani rupees ($17.6 million) to the national exchequer.

Nearly 1,000 people have been detained in Punjab since protests broke out following the arrest of Khan.

In a statement, the police reported the arrest of "945 lawbreakers and miscreants from across the province."

Local media reported at least eight people were killed and 290 were injured in light of the clashes.
