Shooter in Wazirabad PTI rally attack sentenced to life for murder, terrorism

A Gujranwala anti-terrorism on Saturday sentenced to life the primary shooter in a gun attack on a PTI march in Wazirabad — that left former prime minister Imran Khan injured — over murder and terrorism charges.

On November 3, 2022, during the PTI’s long march in the Wazirabad area of Punjab, a gunman opened fire, injuring Imran, Senator Faisal Javed, and several others, while one worker lost his life.

The PTI founding chairman had accused the then-coalition government and some military officials of involvement in the attack.
