On June 15, the driver of former Punjab governor was injured after unknown gunmen attacked his house in the Punjab capital late Thursday.
The senior politician, who remained safe in the attack, had himself confirmed the development, stating that the attackers managed to flee from the scene.
Khosa said he was hearing a client’s case at his residence, when his driver entered his room and informed him about being shot in the gun attack.
He claimed that Kalashnikov was used to fire at his house. He said such tactics could not stop him from supporting the chief justice.
