Former Prime Minister Imran Khan sustained a bullet injury in his leg after a gunman opened fire where he was leading a rally in Wazirabad on Thursday, according to Al-Jazeera.
Azhar Mashwani, an official with Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party, said that Khan was shot in the leg but was not in danger.
