Punjab Police personnel, who visited Imran Khan’s Zaman Park residence in Lahore to conduct a search operation to arrest “terrorists” reportedly hiding there, returned with only “water and biscuits”, the former Pakistan prime minister’s chief security officer said on Friday.

A delegation comprising Lahore Commissioner Muhammad Ali Randhawa, Lahore Deputy Commissioner Rafia Haider, DIG Operations Sadiq Dogar and SSP Operations Sohaib, had met with Khan, the chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party to hold negotiations with him, according to the Dawn newspaper. The move comes hours after Punjab Police obtained warrants to conduct a detailed search at Khan`s residence.
