The Lahore High Court has stayed the police action outside former Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan's house till 10 am on March 16. 

Khan's supporters and the police have been at loggerheads since March 14 when the latter arrived at his residence to arrest him for missing court hearings in the Toshakhana case.

He has been accused of illegally retaining gifts received by him as the country's prime minister. 

The upscale area where Khan lives remained under siege on Wednesday as the government sent Rangers to aid police teams who struggled on Tuesday to muscle their way through a ring of enraged PTI supporters to arrest Khan.

The police, with their riot gear on, closed in on Khan's home in order to comply with the court orders to arrest him in the Toshakhana case.

According to media reports, at least 54 policemen and eight civilians were injured in the clashes.
