Headed by DSP Javed Asif, the team faced resistance as Imran Khan refused to cooperate, demanding that the investigation be conducted in the presence of his lawyers.

Despite Imran’s refusal, the police are set to perform three critical tests on Khan today, including a polygraph test, voice matching, and photographic analysis.

Earlier, the Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) in Lahore extended Imran Khan’s physical remand until July 25, allowing for further investigation into the May 9 cases.
