Imran Khan’s security increased after assassination attempt

Former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s security has been increased after an assassination attempt last week in Wazirabad.

During the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) long march, Khan was shot at leaving the party chairman and other leaders injured, while one bystander lost his life.

As part of increased security arrangements, concrete blocks have been placed around Khan’s Zaman Park residence, reports Dawn.

Police check-posts have also been set up at the entry and exit points of Zaman Park and a record of visitors to the locality is also being maintained by the Punjab government.

A special contingent of commandos from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) also reached Zaman Park on Friday to take charge of his security, while the number of local police personnel has been increased with the inclusion of policewomen, to frisk the women visitors coming to inquire after the PTI chairman.
