A “proper inquiry” into the death of Sub-Inspector Aamir Shahzad Bhadar, the complainant and a “critical witness” of the Wazirabad assassination attempt on the PTI chairman, was sought by the former prime minister Imran Khan.
Bhadar, the station house officer (SHO) of the Sadar police station in Wazirabad, passed away on Sunday due to heart attack. According to family reports, the officer’s illness worsened when he was at home in his native town of Bhadar, which is close to the Kharian town of Gujrat. He was sent to the Kharian Combined Military Hospital, where the staff immediately proclaimed him dead.
In the lawsuit filed against the gun attack on Imran on November 2, Bhadar served as the complainant. Days prior to the incident, he had been assigned to work at the Sadar police station. At Wazirabad’s Allahwala Chowk, where the PTI’s “Haqeeqi Azadi” march against the federal government had paused on its way to Islamabad, the attack had left one PTI employee dead and 14 others injured, including the former prime minister and party leaders. The PTI chairman described the death of the officer as “sudden” in a series of tweets today and claimed that Bhadar was a “critical witness in uncovering the conspirators” behind the assassination plan being looked into by a joint investigation team. (JIT).
We demand a proper inquiry into the sudden death of SHO Amir Shehzad, of a heart attack. He had registered the FIR of Wazirabad assassination attempt on me & was a critical witness in unearthing the conspirators behind this assassination plot being inquired into by the JIT.

He also made numerous statements that the JIT’s records were being manipulated. The ex-premier continued, “It is also vital to remember the odd circumstances behind the death of FIA investigator Dr. Rizwan as well as the deaths of Maqsood Chaprassi and all other witnesses in Shehbaz Sharif’s money laundering case. Imran sought to name them as suspects in the case after the attack, accusing Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, and a senior Inter-Services Intelligence official of planning the crime.
Since then, a number of PTI leaders, including the chairman, have reaffirmed that the incident was a component of a “well-coordinated” plot carried out by at least three shooters to assassinate Imran Khan. According to reports, Imran’s assertions that the attack was carried out from three different firing locations had been supported by a JIT established by the Punjab government. The panel, which had been reformed twice, was led by Lahore CCPO Ghulam Mehmood Dogar. The PTI, however, objected to the government’s decision to appoint a fresh panel to investigate the incident earlier in January. The Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA), 1997’s Section 19(1) was invoked, according to the announcement, to create the panel.
