Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan has penned a letter to Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Umar Ata Bandial requesting him to hold an independent judicial inquiry into the killing of slain journalist Arshad Sharif, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

Becoming a part of the mass movement, the former premier Imran Khan also wrote that “Please constitute a judicial commission and take suo moto notice on the assassination of Arshad Sharif Shaheed. This is the demand of the entire nation.”
