Imran khan shot

Imran Khan is still very popular among the military's rank and file It started off as a regular Tuesday evening. Komal, the wife of a Pakistani army officer stationed in a conflict zone, was chopping vegetables for dinner while her two young daughters watched TV. But their military compound, arguably one of the safest places in Pakistan, was about to feel very unsafe. Komal was surprised when her husband rang, much earlier than usual. He told her to keep the doors locked, because military quarters across the country were being attacked by supporters of former Prime Minister Imran Khan. In Lahore, the residence of a lieutenant general had already been set ablaze. "If they could brazenly attack a general's house, will ours be next? The thought of it sent shivers down my spine," says Komal, who doesn't want to use her real name. She immediately locked the doors and windows and put food in the storeroom in case they had to hide. She even thought about how to exit the apartment if it was set on fire - could she jump out of the second-floor window with her daughters? "When I watched videos of the protests, it terrified me," Komal says. "I have never felt so insecure and vulnerable." But she was also torn - as a staunch Khan supporter, she felt let down.

QUETTA, Pakistan, June 7 (Reuters) - Pakistani police on Wednesday formally named former Prime Minister Imran Khan in connection with the murder by unknown gunmen of a lawyer seeking sedition proceedings against him. Police registered an "abetment to murder" case against former cricket hero Khan, 70, who faces dozens of charges since his ouster in a parliamentary vote of confidence in April last year. Khan, who has not been charged in connection with the lawyer's murder, has dismissed all the cases against him as concocted by his opponents. In a live online broadcast, Khan denied the allegations adding that he would appear in court on Thursday to seek bail for 16 other cases. Provincial government spokesman Babar Khan said Khan could face formal charges if and when the murder case goes to trial. Abdur Razaq, the murdered lawyer, had filed a court petition seeking sedition proceedings against Khan for dissolving his government after the no-confidence motion. Razaq was on his way to court on Tuesday when gunmen on a motorcycle shot and killed him, police said. Razaq's son, Siraj Ahmad, also a lawyer, told police that his father had been killed by unknown men with the "abetment of the former prime minister", according to a police report filed by him and seen by Reuters. It was not immediately clear how the link between unknown gunmen and Khan was made.
