Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan’s ex-wife Reham Khan said on Twitter that when she returned from the wedding on Sunday night, her “vehicle was pointed at by a gun”. In her tweet, she also attacked the prime minister for this “new Pakistan”.
“On the way back from my nephew’s marriage, my car was shot and two motorcyclists pointed their guns at him! I just changed cars. My PS and the driver are in the car. This is Yi Mulan Khan’s new Pakistan? Welcome to the state of cowards, thugs and greedy people!!” Khan said in a tweet posted at 1:59 AM on Monday. In a follow-up tweet published a few hours later, Reham Khan claimed that FIR was still unregistered.
“It is 9 am. My PS and the team have not slept for a minute, and the FIR is still not registered with the Shams Colony Police Station in Islamabad. The investigation is ongoing. Waiting for a copy of the FIR,” Reham Khan said.
She also thanked her followers for their support, and said “I would rather a duel than a cowardly secret attempt.” “I am not afraid of death or injury, but I am angry and worried about those who work for me,” Reham Khan said.
Reham Khan is a British-Pakistani journalist who was briefly married to Imran. She published an autobiography in 2018 in which she made some severe accusations against the Prime Minister of Pakistan.
Imran Khan, the captain of the Pakistan team who won the Cricket World Cup in 1992, held a low-key wedding at his home in Islamabad in January 2015 to marry Reham. However, the marriage ended in only 10 months, and they filed for divorce in October that year.
Reham Khan later claimed in an interview that she fled Pakistan after receiving the threat of being “bloated up.”
