JIT probing assassination attempt on Imran Khan stops working after suspension of its head
The Hindu“The joint investigation team probing the November 3 gun attack on Pakistan’s former premier Imran Khan has stopped working after its head is suspended from service,” a senior police officer said on November 26. Fact check: Old pictures falsely linked to gun attack on Imran Khan "The JIT investigating the assassination attempt on the life of former premier Imran Khan is no more functional after the Federal Service Tribunal allowed the federal government's decision to suspend Lahore police chief Ghulam Mahmood Dogar, who is its head," a senior officer of the Punjab police told PTI on Saturday. Mr. Khan dismissed the FIR, saying without nominating Prime Minister Sharif, Interior Minister Sanaullah, and ISI Counter Intelligence Wing head Maj-Gen Faisal in the FIR it is a mere "piece of trash". Indirectly blaming the powerful military establishment, Mr. Khan had said: "I wonder if I being former Prime Minister of Pakistan can't get an FIR registered in connection with the attack on me and other PTI workers what will happen to the common man."
