Police fired on protesters outside Nisar’s house, says intel report
[DAWN] Policemen fired on protesters from religious groups to stop them from breaking into the residence of former interior minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan
...Former Interior Minister of Pakistain under Nawaz Sharif. He is the senior leader of the Pak Moslem League (N) and a close aide to Uncle Fester Sharif. He is noted for his vocal anti-American railing in the National Assembly. However (comma) Khan told the U.S. ambassador that he was in fact pro-American but he and the PML-N would have to be critical of US actions in order to remain publicly credible. Khan cited his wife and children's US citizenship as proof, which means he's lying to one side or the other and probably both.

In their situation report, Special Branch officials maintained that around at least 90-100 police personnel were present inside the former minister’s residence when around 1,500 protesters attacked the police party, which retaliated with teargas.

"Protesters broke down the main gate of Chaudhry Nisar’s residence and set fire to an adjacent CNG filling station. When they attempted to enter Chaudhry Nisar’s house, coppers fired gunshots injuring four people who were later shifted to Benazir Bhutto Hospital," the report said.

The former minister has already denied claims that four of those who died in the violence that broke out on Saturday were shot by coppers outside his house.

Earlier, Chaudhry Nisar had lashed out at his successor, Ahsan Iqbal, for making "baseless claims" regarding the deaths of protesters outside his residence.
