Hassaan Niazi, Imran Khan’s nephew and legal affairs focal person for Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), has been transferred to a military court for trial, as revealed in a police report submitted to the Lahore High Court.
The investigation concerns his alleged involvement in the Jinnah House attack case, which followed PTI Chief Imran Khan’s arrest in Islamabad.
Hassaan was initially arrested in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, then handed over to Quetta Police, and subsequently to the military at their request.

He was linked to the attack on Jinnah House and the May 9 riots.
Hassaan’s father had sought his recovery, prompting the court to demand arrangements for a meeting between Hassaan and his parents.
The court adjourned to clarify the procedures for the meeting.
