Imran Khan says his lawyers will respond to ‘farcical’ FIR

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan has announced to challenge the First Information Report (FIR) registered against the assassination attempt on his life.

Police registered the FIR upon the directives of the Supreme Court of Pakistan over the brazen attack on the former prime minister in Wazirabad.

The case was registered four days after the attack in which one person was killed and several others including the PTI chairman were injured.

PTI leaders have expressed disappointment over the FIR as it doesn’t mention the suspects named by Imran Khan, whom he alleged were responsible for the attack on him. PTI workers have launched protests across the country over the registration of the FIR.
