The attack on Jinnah House was reportedly carried out by several PTI leaders and workers who allegedly stormed the premises in protest of Imran Khan's arrest. Rizwan Zia, the son of retired Major Ziaul Hassan, who served as IGP Punjab and Sindh, was also arrested in connection with the Jinnah House attack case.
Total 9 cases filed by JIT against Imran Khan
Earlier this month, the JIT chief submitted a report to the court detailing the cases filed against Imran Khan. During the proceedings, it was revealed that there are currently nine cases against Khan in Punjab, with two of them already closed. The remaining cases are still under investigation.
Earlier, Imran Khan himself condemned the attack on Jinnah House, while stating that these should not have taken place. “Pakistan was defamed by this [attack]. It shouldn't have happened,” the PTI chief said to the media after a week of the attack.
