TAXILA: Local leader of PTI Akbar Khan Tanoli has sought registration of an FIR against Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah for allegedly being involved in gun attack on Imran Khan.
In an application to Hassanabdal police, Mr Tanoli said Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah in his recent press conferences had hurled threats on the PTI chairman.
On Thursday, when the long march was passing through Wazirabad, the men hired by him (Rana Sanaullah) resorted to firing at the container. As a result, Imran Khan received bullet injuries in his leg. He nominated the Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah in the case and sought action against him as per law. When contacted, the spokesman of the district Police confirmed that they have received an application from Mr Tanoli against Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah.
“The application has been forwarded to the legal branch of the district police department for their opinion and further course of action,” he added.
