Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Senior Vice-President Fawad Chaudhry Wednesday claimed that the attempted assassination on his party Chairman Imran Khan was carried out by three attackers, all of whom struck him from three different sides.

“An attempt to kill Imran Khan was made in the assassination attack. Investigations proved three attackers were involved in the attempted assassination attack on Khan,” the PTI leader said while addressing a press conference in Lahore. A day earlier, a forensic report revealed that Imran Khan had been hit by three pieces of bullets and a metal shard when he was standing on a moving container near the Allahwala Chowk in Gujranwala’s Wazirabad city. The former premier was injured in an assassination attack on November 3, 2022.

Almost 10 bullet shells were found on the spot, which were sent for forensic examination, the report stated, while no sniper was hired and bullets were not discharged from three sides. It added that almost 33 pieces of evidence were sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory.

He also alleged that the attack on Imran Khan was premeditated with the intention to kill him and instigate hatred. “Imran Khan spoke openly about the attacks on himself in two [PTI] gatherings,” he said, reminding about the assassination of ex-prime minister Liaquat Ali Khan on October 16, 1951.
