SAHIWAL: Pakpattan District Police Officer ​Rizwan Umar Gondal has advised Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf chairman Imran Khan to inform police before making a visit to Baba Farid’s shrine.

A letter sent to the PTI chief on June 28 advised him to avoid frequent visits to the shrine to be on the safe side. Imran Khan’s friend Zulfi Bokhari was among those who accompanied him to the shrine where they stayed for more than one hour during the last visit.

The DPO told media that police had been conveyed a message to be watchful of threat to the life of the PTI chief.
