There were other individuals who had been hurt. During his most recent live video session, Imran Khan has been addressing his supporters live via the official YouTube account that is associated with his Party.
His doctor, Dr. Faisal, displays the ex-prime minister's X-ray and CT scan results on video. Dr. Faisal shows the gunshot wound and describes the injuries that Imran Kahn endured to the during the rally. The video also has remarks from Imran Khan's doctors confirming that the ex-prime minister has been badly injured and that the bullet entered close to a major artery in Imran Khan's right leg. The doctor continued by saying that Imran Khan would have lost a lot of blood if the bullet had succeeded to burst the major artery in his leg. The removal of the bullets was successful, according to the doctor who performed the procedure.
While leading a protest march against the Shehbaz Sharif administration in the Wazirabad district of Punjab province, a gunman opened fire on Khan and others who had climbed atop a container-mounted truck, wounding Khan in the right leg.
Khan was in a wheelchair, his right leg raised and bandaged. He restated numerous of his earlier accusations against the ruling establishment and the military's command structure.
Rawalpindi, Lahore, and Karachi police used tear gas to disperse demonstrators shortly after Khan was shot at. Some of the protesters were seen being dragged by police into cars in TV video.
Khan's followers in Lahore, who had gathered for a demonstration in response to a summons from Khan's political party, attempted to break into the governor's residence.
Bloomberg Economics' Ankur Shukla said that the outcry over what seems to be an assassination attempt will rally support for the former prime minister and could spark unrest, making it even harder to rule the debt-ridden country, which has already been ravaged by floods.
