PTI seeks judicial probe into Arshad's killing, Swati video, attack on Imran.

ISLAMABAD -- The Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) on Monday filed applications in Supreme Court registries across the country, seeking a judicial commission to probe an assassination attempt on its chairman Imran Khan, secret video recording of Senator Azam Swati and his wife, and killing of journalist Arshad Sharif in Kenya.
