In a letter to the Chief Justice of Pakistan today, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has put forward five questions before the Supreme Court regarding the attack on PTI chairman Imran Khan.

  1. Which law enforcement agencies were responsible to provide security to Imran’s convoy? Whether security protocols and other SOPs were put in place to secure the convoy and whether these protocols were adhered to?
  2. What are the facts of the incident itself?
  3. Whether law enforcement agencies and administrative authorities complied with the prescribed investigation, evidence collection, and handling procedures following the incident?
  4. Whether the investigation into the incident is being deliberately impeded? If yes, by which actors and why?
  5. Whether the shooting was a result of a criminal conspiracy hatched to assassinate Imran or the act of a lone shooter? Who are the actors responsible in either scenario?
