KARACHI: Reham Khan, the former wife of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan, has left the country citing threats to her by unidentified individuals.
Speaking to a private TV channel, Reham confirmed that she left Pakistan on Sunday night because she was receiving threats through phone calls made to her staff. She reportedly shared an audio recording in which the coordinator of Reham Khan Foundation was informing her how he received calls from unidentified numbers and was threatened to not coordinate Reham’s interviews and events.
She further said that she has had to discontinue the schooling of her daughter due to which she was extremely distressed, adding, “None of the political parties is standing by me, nor backing me.”
She, however, had yet to explain if there was some specific issue pertaining to which she had been issued threats. There was also no confirmation if she had filed a complaint with the police in this regard.
Reham, however, said that her staff was receiving these threats since last September, but now these threats have increased, so she decided to leave Pakistan.
The former wife of the PTI chairman confirmed to the TV channel that several former cricketers called her and advised her to forget Imran Khan and not to get into any fight with him.
