The PTI has filed a petition in the Wazirabad district and sessions court against police officials for non-registration of the first information report (FIR) and for delaying the complaint against the assassination attempt on Imran.

The petition was filed by Zubair Niazi — who stated himself to be an eyewitness of the shooting, “a close blood relative” of Imran Khan, and the general secretary of PTI for Lahore.

The petition, a copy of which is available with Dawn.com, was filed against the station house-incharge and sub-inspector of the Wazirabad police station, Gujranwala complaint cell’s superintendent of police, Gujranwala city police officer, and Punjab inspector general police.

It called for an FIR to be registered “on the basis of actual and true events” instead of the “manipulated and doctored version” of the incident.
