A murder case has been registered against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan, his wife Bushra Bibi, and senior party leaders in connection with the deaths of Rangers personnel during the PTI’s protest at D-Chowk.
According to Express News, the First Information Report (FIR) has been filed at the Ramna Police Station in Islamabad, naming Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi as the primary suspects.
The case was registered based on a complaint by a Sindh Rangers official, who claimed that the entire incident was planned in Adiala Jail.
The FIR alleged that the killing of the Rangers personnel occurred at the behest and under the orders of Imran Khan, with the involvement of senior PTI leadership.
The plan, according to the FIR, was devised during various meetings between PTI leaders and certain prisoners at the jail, and its purpose was to target security forces.
The FIR further identified several witnesses to the plot, including prisoners, labourers, and secret police employees within the jail. It claims that the PTI leadership, including Bushra Bibi, Ali Amin, Umar Ayub, Waqas Akram, Salman Akram Raja, Murad Saeed, Zulfi Bukhari, Rauf Hassan, Hammad Azhar, and others, conspired together to carry out the plan.
Additionally, the FIR stated that Bushra Bibi and other party leaders incited the public through a video message, urging them to rise against the army and government. The PTI leadership is accused of inciting rebellion and violence through their calls for public unrest.
This case adds to the mounting legal challenges facing Imran Khan and his party as they face accusations of orchestrating violence and encouraging civil unrest during their protests.
