Arshad had to leave the country but he continued to speak the truth: Imran Khan

The former prime minister wrote: “Shocked at the brutal murder of Arshad Sharif who paid the ultimate price for speaking the truth – his life. He had to leave the country and be in hiding abroad but he continued to speak the truth on social media, exposing the powerful. Today the entire nation mourns his death.”
Imran Khan demanded a proper judicial investigation into the high-profile killing case in the light of Arshad’s own statement and evidences from the sources.
