Police are investigating an alleged acid attack on an ex-adviser to the former Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan at his home in Hertfordshire. There are claims by a senior Tory MP it was carried out by an agent of the country’s feared intelligence agency, the ISI.
Shahzad Akbar, who sought refuge in Britain after leading Pakistan’s efforts to combat corruption and becoming an outspoken opponent of the regime, told The Independent he was lucky not to lose his sight in the attack on Sunday afternoon.
