The PTI gave the protest call after Punjab Police failed to register FIR, as per PTI version, into assassination attempt on Imran Khan’s life in Wazirabad on November 3. The Wazirabad Police did register the case but on the complaint of a local Sub Inspector, who mentioned only one shooter Naveed, arrested from the crime scene seconds after the shooting.
