By India Today Web Desk: Imran Khan was shot in his leg during his party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s, rally in Wazirabad on Thursday, November 3. While PTI supporters took to the streets and carried out demonstrations, his critics and a few others took the fact with a pinch of salt.

Imran Khan, the following day, addressed the public from Lahore’s hospital.

In the latest development, Federal Minister for Interior Rana Sanaullah Khan challenged the PTI supremo and the former Pakistan prime minister to prove that he had sustained four bullet injuries, as claimed by Khan and his associates.

Rana stated that he was so sure that Khan had not received as many bullets that he said that he would quit politics forever if Khan managed to table proof of four gunshots.

At the PTI-led rally, the suspect allegedly fired a volley of bullets with a pistol which killed one person on the spot. As per reports, several PTI members were injured.

“There was a guy who was in front of the container who had this automatic pistol. He fired a burst. Everyone who was standing in the front row was hit,” the former information minister in Imran Khan’s cabinet, Fawad Chaudhry, who was behind Khan on the truck, told news agency AFP.
