‘Imran Khan’s home attacked’ISLAMABAD: A horde of 100 miscreants attacked the home of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan on Wednesday and beat his brother-in-law, party officials said, as they accused the government of failing to provide security.
The police denied there had been any break-in at the hilltop villa of the cricket legend, and blamed any disturbance on members of his own PTI. But Shireen Mazari demanded the immediate resignation of the interior minister, accusing him of imperilling Khan’s life.
The attack put Imran’s and his family’s lives at risk, “while the police and local administration did not respond despite repeated calls”, she said in a statement. Islamabad police chief Bani Amin denied any break-in. “No report has been registered. If anything has happened at Imran’s home, it may have been because of his workers who are demonstrating at his house for party tickets,” he told AFP. afpCourtesy www.dailytimes.com.pk
