Imran Khan and Party Leaders Booked for 'Attempt to Murder'

A new criminal case implicates Imran Khan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's Chief Minister in the attempted murder of a police constable during a recent protest. The incident led to the constable's death and saw Khan's party supporters charged with terrorism after violent confrontations with police.

Authorities have charged former prime minister Imran Khan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur in a fresh criminal case. The accusations stem from the alleged murder attempt on a police constable during a party protest, which resulted in the constable's death over the weekend.

The case has been registered under serious offenses, including arson, assault on state personnel, and anti-terrorism laws. Demonstrations led by Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf culminated in violent clashes, leaving several injured and escalating tensions nationwide.

Khan, detained for more than a year in Rawalpindi's Adiala Jail, called for continued protests demanding his release. The unrest has ignited further accusations against him and his supporters, cementing their legal troubles amid a charged political atmosphere.
