She shared the pictures of the man trying to stop the man who opened fire on the protestors and Imran Khan. Imran Khan suffered bullet injuries in his leg. He was immediately taken to Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital for treatment.
Jemima also expressed concerns regarding his life in a tweet. “The news we dread… Thank God he’s okay. And thank you from his sons to the heroic man in the crowd who tackled the gunman,” said Jemima Khan in a tweet.
