Islamabad: A forensic report has revealed that former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan was hit by three bullet fragments and a metal piece during an assassination attempt last year when he was leading a PTI rally to the federal capital.
The PTI chairman was injured by gunfire aimed at his open-top container truck as he led a convoy through thick crowds in Wazirabad on November 3, 2022, reports The Express Tribune.
One person died while several members of Khan’s close circle were injured in the incident.
The forensic report of the attack has now revealed that the former premier was hit by three bullet fragments and a metal fragment.
