Imran Khan Facing Murder, Terrorism Charges

Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has been booked on charges of murder, terrorism and other serious offences, according to a report by the country’s Federal Investigation Agency (FIA).


The charges were filed against Khan in connection with a case related to the killing of a police officer in the city of Lahore in 2011. The officer was killed during a protest against the then-ruling Pakistan People’s Party (PPP).


Khan, who was the leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party at the time, was accused of inciting violence and leading the protest. He was also accused of ordering the killing of the police officer.

The FIA has now registered a case against Khan and several other PTI leaders, including former Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif, for their alleged involvement in the killing.

Khan has denied the charges and has said that he was not present at the protest. He has also accused the PPP of trying to frame him in the case.


The case has been registered under the Anti-Terrorism Act and the Pakistan Penal Code. If convicted, Khan could face life imprisonment or the death penalty.

The case is the latest in a series of legal troubles for Khan, who has been accused of corruption and mismanagement of public funds. He has also been accused of using his influence to benefit his family and friends.

Khan has denied all the allegations against him and has vowed to fight the charges in court. He has also accused the PPP of trying to discredit him and his party.


The case is likely to be a major test for Khan’s government, which has been struggling to contain the country’s economic crisis. It could also have a major impact on the upcoming general elections in the country.
