Khan is stable and the bullet hit his leg. He is being shifted to a hospital in Lahore, his party spokesman Muzzammil Aslam said by phone.

There were two attackers at the scene. One was killed in gunfire and another is in police custody, said Rauf Hasan, another spokesman of Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party. Few other details are immediately known.
