Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Tuesday decided not to appear before a joint investigation team (JIT) in cases related to the incidents of violence and arson at Jinnah House. The JIT, headed by DIG Kamran Adil, has summoned the former prime minister, whose party was hit be massive resignations following the May 9 incidents on Tuesday for interrogation.

The Punjab government had earlier constituted ten different JITs to investigate cases related to the May 9 incidents, including Imran Khan's involvement in lawsuits lodged in various police stations such as Thana Sarwar Road, Shadman, Race Course, and other police stations. Earlier a military court commenced the trial of the hooligans involved in the attack on the residence of the corps commander that took place on May 9 and the Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) Lahore directed the surrender of 16 individuals involved in the violent incident to the military.
