The Punjab police plan to search former premier Imran Khan’s Zaman Park residence in Lahore today, Punjab Information Minister Amir Mir has told Reuters.

Hundreds of policemen, led by the city police commissioner, would conduct the search operation later today, Mir told Reuters.

Referring to the miscreants involved in the May 9 incidents, Mir has said: “We have information that there are around 40 terrorists hiding there, so I think we will need some 400 police to search the house.”
