Khan, who was shot and wounded while campaigning in November, said in an interview that the threat to his life is larger than before and that his political opponents and military want to block him from standing in elections later this year.

Security was tight around the judicial complex where Khan arrived in a motorcade surrounded by supporters.

The court has previously issued arrest warrants for Khan in the case because he didn't appear on previous hearings despite summons.
