The man believed to have fired at Imran Khan at a rally this evening in Pakistan’s Gujranwala said he had come to kill the former Prime Minister because he believed that he was “misleading” people.

Imran Khan, 70, is out of danger after he was shot in the leg at a political rally in Wazirabad near Gujranwala, about 70 km from Lahore.

“I did this because he was misleading people. I couldn’t take it. I had decided to do this the day he started the rally,” he said in a video apparently recorded by the police, reports Indian media.

He said he had acted alone. “Nobody was behind me, nobody is with me,” he told reporters.

The alleged shooter also said he had come on a bike to Wazirabad and had left the vehicle at his uncle’s shop.

Meanwhile, Pakistani police have released a video of a gunman who was arrested at the scene of Khan’s shooting.

The suspect, identified as Faisal Butt by Information Minister Maryam Aurangzeb, allegedly confessed and said he had acted alone.

“Only Imran Khan was my target,” the suspect said.
