Talking to journalists during a hearing of a case inside Adiala Jail, the former prime minister said, “I had given a call for holding a peaceful protest outside the GHQ before my arrest.” He added that police and Rangers attacked his house in Zaman Park area of Lahore on March 14.
Later on March 18, he added, the law enforcers again forcibly barged into his house. The same day, he maintained, the Judicial Complex witnessed shelling inside and outside its compound.
Meanwhile, a 12-member investigation team from Lahore Police arrived at the jail to probe the 12 cases filed against the PTI founder from May 9.
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.
Outside the jail, police apprehended a car rider for ramming the vehicle into the barrier at the gate No5 of Adiala Jail where Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan is incarcerated.
Police officials revealed that the car rider was immediately arrested when after he had broken the barrier and reached the Gate No 5. They added that the accused was identified as Mubasher and a resident of Tehsil Summundri.
The accused has shifted to Police post Adiala for investigation and his medical examination is being carried out, they said.
