Wazirabad: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Alamgir Khan has said that his personal security guard was mistakenly caught by public and taken into custody by police as a suspect after former prime minister Imran Khan was shot on day 7 of party’s ‘Haqeeqi Long March’ in Gujranwala.

“Due to situation, security guard was also with me. His name is Muhammad Poonal Khan,” he said in a short video statement. Alamgir said that people at crime scene mistakenly caught his security guard and police also took him into custody. “Now, I am getting reports that he is also being named in incident.

This is absolutely wrong. He is a private security guard and he came along with me.” He warned Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah and others not to try to frame an innocent person.

Earlier, it was reported that Alamgir’s guard was the one who had attacked Imran. According to media reports, gunman has been arrested and Imran is out of danger.
