An application is being submitted in Lahore High Court (LHC) to investigate Imran Khan’s claim of Rs. 10 billion offered as a bribe to him.

According to Waqt News, the applicant, Advocate Rana Azeem, argued that this is a very serious statement by PTI chairman and the nation is also taking it very seriously.

“A judicial inquiry should be launched in this regard,” demanded the applicant.
