PM, interior minister and military official named in application
ISLAMABAD: A relative of PTI Chairman Imran Khan on Sunday moved an application to register an FIR against Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah and Major General Faisal Naseer, Express Tribune reported.
On Thursday, the deposed prime minister had suffered a bullet wound to his leg after a gunman opened fire on his container as Imran was leading the PTI’s “Haqeeqi Azadi March”. One person had died in the incident while PTI leaders including Senator Faisal Javed, former Sindh governor Imran Ismail, Ahmad Chattha and Imran Yousaf, were injured.
The PTI leadership is still consulting with its legal team over the registration of the FIR. However, a family member of the deposed premier has penned a request to SHO Wazirabad City for registration of the FIR, according to the media reports.
Previously, police sources had said the decision had become difficult about where and who would register the case. They had added that the police had not received the request for registration of FIR in the high-profile case.
‘Assassination plot’
PTI leader and former federal minister Asad Umar on Thursday had said Imran Khan had named three suspects, whom he believed were behind the gun attack on the long march while it was in Punjab’s Wazirabad.
Umar issued a video statement, accompanied by a fellow party member and provincial minister Aslam Iqbal, wherein he disclosed that both of them had a conversation with Imran Khan after the attack and the PTI chief revealed that he already had information about it. These statements were later verified by Imran himself as he shared a video message with the nation the following day (Friday).
