LAHORE: PTI leader and former special assistant to the prime minister for political communication, Dr Shahbaz Gill, on Thursaday sustained minor injuries in a road accident on motorway near Khanqah Dogran, Geo News reported.
Gill was travelling to Islamabad from Lahore. A spokesperson of the motorway police said that there was no evidence of involvement of any other vehicle. The injured will be shifted to Islamabad after receiving medical treatment, he added.
Sources said that the accident took place due to the negligence and carelessness of the driver.
Taking to his official Twitter handle, hours after the accident, Gill claimed that his car was chased and deliberately hit “under a plot.”
“I am standing by [Imran] Khan and will continue to do… I want to tell the nation that they will also attack Khan. They will try to silence us at all costs,” he wrote on Twitter.
PTI Punjab's Information Secretary Musarrat Cheema taking notice of the accident demanded an investigation.
"This is terrible. Hope he's safe," she wrote on Twitter, adding that the police should look into this matter thoroughly.
"This can't be a coincidence when the interior minister is threatening PTI members and affiliates," she claimed.
