Former federal minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) member Shehzad Akbar is taking legal action against the Pakistani government in the UK after he got injured in an acid attack that left him “scarred for life,” Geo News reported on Monday.
On November 26, 2023, an unknown person threw acid on the former federal minister’s face when he opened his door to a visitor at his home in Royston town, England.
His slamming the door shut and his glasses saved him from going blind.
On Monday afternoon, Akbar submitted a copy of his legal action to the Pakistan High Commission in London. The document directly accuses multiple officials of involvement in the attack.
The PTI member also claimed in a document that the government of Pakistan is responsible.
Akbar sent the Pakistani government a letter outlining the claim that he intends to bring against it at the High Court in London.
