LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan has demanded a “proper inquiry” into the sudden death of late station house officer (SHO) Amir Shahzad, who was the complainant and a “critical witness” in the case of Wazirabad assassination attempt on him.

Mr Khan in a series of tweets on Monday stated the SHO “was a critical witness in unearthing the conspirators behind his assassination plot being inquired into by the Joint Investigation Team (JIT)”.

He alleged in tweet, “The JIT record has also been tampered with”. “It is equally important to recall the mysterious circumstances surrounding the death of FIA investigator Dr Rizwan as well as the deaths of Maqsood Chaprasi and all other witnesses in Shahbaz Sharif’s money laundering case,” Khan added.
