Unidentified assailants targeted the residence of former Chief Justice Saqib Nisar in Lahore, leaving two policemen injured. Justice (r) Nisar, who was present inside the house at the time, confirmed that the attack involved a grenade.
The assailants struck in the garage of Justice Nisar’s residence, causing injuries to two policemen who were on duty. Immediate and extensive police reinforcements rushed to the scene following the explosion, launching investigations into the incident.
Remarkably, Justice Nisar revealed that there are no CCTV cameras installed in his house, complicating efforts to identify the perpetrators. The motive behind the attack remains unknown as authorities intensify efforts to determine the identity and motives of the attackers.
Justice (r) Nisar served as the 25th Chief Justice of Pakistan from December 31, 2016, to January 17, 2019, garnering attention for his strong stance on judicial matters during his tenure.
This alarming event occurred just hours after an incident involving Accountability Judge Muhammad Bashir in Rawalpindi, where an aerial firing incident took place. However, authorities attributed the Rawalpindi incident to a drug addict, clarifying that no important personality was the target.
As investigations unfold, the nation awaits further updates on this distressing attack on the residence of a prominent legal figure.
