Imran Khan named in GHQ and other riots in Rawalpindi
Imran Khan, chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), has been named as a suspect in the First Information Reports (FIRs) filed regarding the May 9 riots and the attack on the General Headquarters (GHQ) of the military.
The FIRs were lodged at the RA Bazar and New Town police stations, linking the former prime minister to the cases of the May 9 riots, damage to state properties, and the GHQ assault.
The RA Bazar police station specifically registered the case concerning the attack on the GHQ, with PTI leader Raja Basharat and 14 others already implicated in the incident.
