Imran Riaz Khan, a senior journalist and anchor, was denied entry to a Pakistan Super League (PSL) game in Lahore because he was wearing a “mask of martyred journalist Arshad Sharif” on Sunday.
The senior journalist was killed in Kenyan capital Nairobi on October 23 where he was living in self-exile.
As per details, Imran Riaz Khan came to attend the PSL match between Lahore Qalandars and Peshawar Zalmi at Gaddafi Stadium along with his friends. The senior journalist and his friends were wearing “Arshad Sharif’s masks,” thus the police forbade them from entering the stadium.

Police officers who were on duty allegedly attempted to create a fight with the anchor and his pals outside the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. The journalist was unable to watch the game because of police opposition and left the stadium.
