In a shocking development, former federal minister and senator Faisal Vawda has accused Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan of having prior knowledge of the murder of journalist Arshad Sharif.

He made these serious allegations during an appearance on Samaa TV program Nadeem Malik Live, claiming that Imran Khan was aware that "something big" was going to happen before Sharif’s death on October 23, 2022.

The former PTI leader revealed that the former premier had expressed his desire to hold a meeting on the same day Sharif was murdered, suggesting a connection between the two events.

He further alleged that PTI leader Ali Amin Gandapur, who had previously made threats against Khan, had warned that something major was imminent.

Vawda also mentioned that on August 16 or 20, 2022, PTI’s Murad Saeed had informed him that there were plans to assassinate Arshad Sharif, information that he claims even intelligence agencies were unaware of at the time.

The former minister emphasized that he has substantial evidence to back his claims and has shared this with the program's producer.

He also mentioned that he is conducting a forensic analysis of the audio evidence provided, which allegedly implicates key figures within PTI and suggests that former military officials Faiz Hameed and Nadeem Anjum were involved.

Faisal Vawda’s allegations did not stop there; he boldly questioned why Murad Saeed has remained in hiding since the incident, suggesting that Saeed’s involvement in the case is significant. He went on to predict dire consequences for those involved, claiming that both PTI and Faiz Hameed would eventually face severe legal repercussions.
