Imran Khan, former Prime Minister of Pakistan and founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), along with his wife Bushra Bibi and several senior party leaders, faces a murder case linked to the deaths of paramilitary Rangers during a protest.
The incident, which reportedly occurred in Islamabad, involved a vehicle allegedly driven by a PTI supporter that killed three Rangers and injured another. The alleged conspiracy was said to have been planned in Adiala Jail, Rawalpindi, where Khan is currently detained.
A First Information Report (FIR) filed by a Rangers official suggests that Khan orchestrated the killing of Rangers personnel, with assistance from his wife and senior PTI members. Meetings supposedly held in jail strategized these plans, aimed at inciting public agitation against military forces.
