Khan's Kin: A Family Feud in Pakistan The arrest of Imran Khan's three sisters by the Punjab police is a stark reminder that even in Pakistani politics, family ties can be a double edged sword.
The development comes on the heels of a planned protest march by Khan's party, the PTI, which has been vocal about its opposition to the current government.
The arrest of Aleema Khan, Dr Uzma Khan, and Noreen Khan is being seen as an attempt to silence dissenting voices ahead of the September 27 protest.
