Attempts being made to sabotage Wazirabad JIT findings: Imran


Former prime minister and PTI chief Imran Khan on Friday claimed that attempts are being made to sabotage findings of the joint investigation team (JIT) probing failed assassination attempt on his life

Imran had sustained multiple injuries in the gun attack in Wazirabad on November 3 last year while leading his ‘Haqeeqi Azadi’ march towards Islamabad

One person died in the shooting, while several members of the PTI chairman’s close circle, including Faisal Javaid, Imran Ismail, Ahmad Chattha and Imran Yousaf were also injured

“If anyone still has any doubts about who was responsible for my assassination attempt, just see what is happening with the JIT report submitted before the anti-terrorist court,” the former premier wrote on his official Twitter handle today

— Imran Khan (@ImranKhanPTI) February 24, 2023 Important record pertaining to the investigation of the attack on the former prime minister in Wazirabad has gone missing from the Punjab Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE)

The record contained the investigation files of the joint investigation team (JIT) formed to probe the assassination bid

An ACE officer, Anwar Shah, was a member of the JIT, and was looking after the record at the vigilance cell

The officer was later suspended

Earlier this month, newly-appointed ACE Director General Sohail Zafar Chatha had announced the establishment of a five-member committee to investigate the matter
