Pakistan’s former Prime Minister Imran Khan has accused the country’s current premier Shehbaz Sharif of being involved in the attempt to assassinate him after he was shot in the leg during a rally.

Khan’s shocking claim comes as video showed the terrifying moment the politician took cover as he was shot and wounded at the rally.

Footage showed Khan standing at the front of an open top container truck during a protest march to demand snap elections when a gunman fired at the politician with an automatic pistol.

As the sound of bullets filled the air, a shocked Khan, 70, tried to take cover but he was shot in the leg. Khan’s team quickly surrounded him, as people in the crowd could be heard screaming.

The violent footage from the scene shows the suspected gunman firing a burst of shots at Khan. A second man is seen trying to wrestle the gun from the would-be assassin, as the gunman tries to escape before being arrested.
