LAHORE, Mar 18: Police in Pakistan stormed former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s residence in the eastern city of Lahore on March 18 and arrested 30 people amid tear gas shelling after someone opened fire from the roof of the building, officials said.
Senior police officer Suhail Sukhera, who is leading the operation in a Lahore upscale neighbourhood, said police moved to remove encroachments and blockade erected by Mr. Khan’s Tehreek-e-Insaf party and his defiant supporters.
He said, “baton-wielding Mr. Khan’s supporters attempted to resist police by throwing stones and petrol bombs, but the officers moved on until a man on the roof of Khan’s residence opened fire. No one was hurt”.
