Jansher Khan arrested

PESHAWAR: Police arrested Pakistan's former world squash No. 1 Jansher Khan on Thursday after a court cancelled his pre-arrest bail in a dispute over ownership of a house. Mr. Khan was handcuffed and taken away in a police van after he emerged from the District and Sessions Court in the north-western city of Peshawar, where his interim bail against arrest was struck down, said a Peshawar police officer. A Peshawar woman complained to police last month that Mr. Khan and several other men stormed into her home, trying to occupy the house and forcing the family out. She also accused Mr. Khan and the other men of beating her, her husband and a son, according to the police official. — AP
