London — Former aide to ex-prime minister Imran Khan, Shahzad Akbar, has alleged that his residence in the United Kingdom was subjected to a deliberate and targeted attack, raising serious concerns over his personal safety and the motives behind the incident.
In a statement, Akbar said the attack appeared calculated rather than random, claiming it was carried out with the intent to intimidate and send a message. He added that the matter has been reported to local authorities, who have begun assessing the incident and gathering evidence.
Security Concerns Raised
Akbar maintained that the incident should not be viewed as an isolated act, suggesting that it may be linked to his past political role and ongoing public positions. He urged authorities to conduct a transparent investigation to identify those responsible and determine whether the attack was politically motivated.
Details of the damage to the property were not publicly disclosed, but Akbar said the incident caused distress to his family and raised broader concerns about the safety of political figures residing abroad.
Call for Accountability
The former adviser emphasized that intimidation tactics would not deter him from speaking on matters of public interest. He called on law enforcement agencies to ensure accountability and prevent such incidents from being repeated.
Officials have yet to release a formal statement regarding the findings of the initial inquiry, while investigations remain underway.
