  • Justice Ijaz ul Ahsan was part of the bench that disqualified Nawaz Sharif
  • No casualties have been reported from the attack.

In an audacious attack, shots were fired at Pakistan Supreme Court judge Justice Ijaz ul Ahsan's house in Lahore on Saturday night and again today morning.

Justice Ijaz Ul Ahsan was part of the five-member bench that disqualified former Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif after he was found guilty of laundering money post the Panama Papers leak.

No casualties have been reported from the attack.

The Chief Justice of Pakistan Mian Saqib Nisar is reported to have reached the residence of Justice Ahsan in the morning and summoned the Punjab Inspector General to probe the case.

The chief justice is believed to be personally overseeing the investigations.

Meanwhile, the cowardly attack raked in support for the Supreme Court judge, one of them being from Imran Khan, chief of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
