Earlier, a number of media outlets, including AFP, quoted Imran Khan's assistant as saying that a man suspected of attacking Imran Khan was killed and another was arrested by police.
Previously, he served as Prime Minister for nearly 4 years
He was deposed in April this year
Just over half a year ago, Imran Khan was deposed. In the early hours of April 10 this year, Pakistan's National Assembly passed a no-confidence motion against then-Prime Minister Imran Khan by a majority of the vote. Khan became the first prime minister in Pakistan's history to be removed through a no-confidence motion.

In March, Khan produced a "threatening letter" at a rally, calling it evidence of U.S. intentions to destabilize the Pakistani regime. Khan has said that Pakistani diplomats in the United States have received threats from the US government that the United States intends to overthrow the Imran Khan government, and his eventual ouster was also caused by foreign forces.
In May, the Pakistani government said it would investigate what former Prime Minister Imran Khan called a "threatening letter." Pakistani Information Minister Aurangzeb announced on the same day that the government will set up a committee to conduct an impartial and independent investigation into the matter. She said the results of the survey will be released nationwide once they are available.
Pakistani President Alvi said he had forwarded a letter addressed to him by former Prime Minister Imran Khan to Pakistan's current prime minister, Shahbaz Sharif, and Chief Justice Umar Atta Bandir, who would seek the establishment of a judicial committee to investigate and try what Imran Khan had mentioned as a "foreign conspiracy" to lead to regime change.
On October 21, local time, the Election Commission of Pakistan announced the disqualification of former Prime Minister Imran Khan from running for the next five years.
According to Xinhua, on July 25, 2018, Imran Khan's JEM party won the National Assembly election, becoming the largest party in the National Assembly. Imran Khan was sworn in as Prime Minister on August 18, 2018.
