WAZIRABAD: Station House Officer (SHO) Amir Shahzad, who was the complainant of the first information report (FIR) registered against the attack on Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan in November last year, died of a heart attack on Sunday. Shahzad was the SHO of Saddar Wazirabad police station.

The case of an assassination attempt on former prime minister Imran Khan was registered at the City Wazirabad police station on the statement of the deceased policeman.

In the shooting on the PTI chairman’s container in Wazirabad, a party worker was killed and six others, including the former premier, were injured.
