PTI Vice Chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi has said that the lack of any progress in the registration of a first information report for the Wazirabad attack on former prime minister Imran Khan suggests that some officials’ “hands are tied” in the matter.

Talking to the media in Lahore, he said a FIR not being registered in such a serious case raised a major “question mark”.

“There was a protest in Rawalpindi yesterday, Punjab is the province [and yet] the Islamabad police and Frontier Constabulary enter and take action. Did they take permission from the Punjab government?

“It seems that some people’s hands are tied in the matter and this is becoming clear,” Qureshi said.

He also said that people were not satisfied from the Punjab police chief’s performance, adding that it was the responsibility of the provincial government to investigate the matter and determine if he really was “helpless”.
