LAHORE: The Joint Investigation Team (JIT) formed to probe into the gun attack on former premier Imran Khan at Wazirabad on Friday and inspected the crime scene, got briefings from the local police and sought call record of the prime suspect arrested from the spot.

It was second visit of the JIT members, headed by Capital City Police Officer (CCPO) Ghulam Mahmood Dogar, to Wazirabad to investigate the case.

An official said the team inspected the spot from where the shooter fired at the former prime minister to check the distance from the target. They also inspected the nearby buildings and checked the security measures Wazirabad police had taken when Mr Khan was attacked, he said.

Senior police officers from Wazirabad and Gujrat were also present during the JIT’s visit and they briefed the members on the details of the incident, the weapon used by the suspect, the eyewitnesses accounts and other relevant information, he said.

The official said the JIT took the custody of the suspect after the court granted his 12-day physical remand. He said the JIT had asked the agencies concerned to provide it the CDR of the mobile phone of the suspect.
