LONDON (Daily Point) — Shahzad Akbar, an adviser to former Pakistani premier Imran Khan, was attacked with acid at his home near London.

The police confirmed this incident, stating that a 46-year-old man (Akbar) was treated in the hospital and has been discharged.

The attack happened in Royston, about 50 miles from London, where Akbar lives with his wife and two daughters. The police believe an acidic solution was used. They consider it an isolated incident but are actively investigating. Witnesses or anyone with information are urged to contact the police.

Akbar had informed UK authorities two weeks before the attack that he felt endangered because the Pakistani government knew his new address. He had received a letter from the Cabinet Division regarding his involvement in a £190 million NCA properties settlement case and Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi’s Al-Qadir Trust case.

Akbar mentioned that he had been in touch with UK agencies after his brother’s arrest in Pakistan. He expressed shock at receiving a letter at his new address, indicating that the Pakistani government was aware of his location.

The Pakistani government, according to a source, claimed it’s a legal requirement to serve papers to the accused’s known address. Akbar, who holds evidence in the £190 million corruption case, denies the government’s claim.

On the day of the attack, an unidentified person threw acid on Akbar’s face when he opened the door in response to a delivery person. Fortunately, most of the acid landed on the door, and Akbar suffered injuries on his hand. His wife and children were unharmed. Akbar, in self-exile in the UK, called the police immediately, and they arrived promptly. He remained in the hospital for about 10 to 11 hours before being discharged.
