    PTI Vice Chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi filed a petition in the Supreme Court's (SC) Lahore Registry for the registration of a first information report (FIR) against the gun attack on the party chief Imran Khan in Wazirabad.

    The petition was submitted to SC's Deputy Registrar Aijaz Goraya. The plea was filed after the Punjab Police did not register the FIR against the people Khan wanted to nominate.

    However, on November 7, the Supreme Court ordered Punjab IG Police Faisal Shahkar to either submit an FIR on the issue within 24 hours or face a suo motu notice.

    In accordance with the court decision, the police recorded the FIR of the Wazirabad gun attack on the same day, based on the complaint of its sub-inspector. However, the police FIR did not name the three top officials mentioned by the PTI chief.

    During his long march, Imran Khan was shot on November 3 in the Punjab town of Wazirabad. One of his supporters was slain, and members of his party who accompanied him on a container were injured.
