    The Lahore police has said that all the weapons that were recovered by the authorities from Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan’s residence in Zaman Park are “unlicensed and illegal”.

    At the time, Khan was on his way to Islamabad to appear before a court in the Toshkhana case. He said that his wife Bushra Bibi was alone at home.

    The police said at least 13 SMGs, 7 Kalashnikovs, and 340 bullets were recovered from Zaman Park.

    The Punjab Police on Saturday raided the house of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan shortly after he left for Islamabad to appear before a court in the Toshkhana case.

    According to media reports, several things have been discovered by the police at Khan’s residence.

    Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah claimed that police found 16 rifles, arms, bombs and a bomb-making factory in Zaman Park.

    He said that Inspector General (IG) will bring all proofs before the nation.

    In a video, which is being shared on Twitter, police can be seen picking up sanitary pads.

    Moreover, the bottles that were used to make petrol bombs have been found along with marbles, slingshots, five kalashnikovs and bullets, reports Geo News.

    Reacting to this news, PTI’s Fawad Chaudhry took a jibe at the police and said that “Cannon, tank shells, anti-aircraft and cocaine, and petrol bombs were recovered from Imran Khan’s residence. But Imran Khan took tanks and cannons with him.”

    To refute the claims made by the government, he in another tweet claimed “that the police has taken food and drinks from the fridge and not even left the biscuits.”

    According to him, a hundred thousand watches have been also taken from the pockets of the employees.

    Three bombs defused at Karachi police station after 17 years

    Three bombs have been defused at the Garden police station in Karachi Tuesday night when they were found after someone called the police helpline and threatened to blow up the station, Samma reported.

    According to the details, the bombs were not planted by the caller, they were seized by the police in 2002 but they never actually defused the bombs before.

    Someone called the “Madadgar 15 Helpline” and threatened the police to blow up the station. The Garden police station and the Nabi Baksh police station attached to it were searched and the bomb-sniffing dogs led investigators to a storage unit where they found the three armed IEDs [improvised explosive device].

    Security has been increased at both stations and the police are also searching for the unknown caller. The Bomb Disposal Squad defused the bombs, which reportedly could have exploded at any time.
