Unknown men attacked the residence of former Chief Justice Saqib Nisar in Lahore on Wednesday evening, leaving two policemen injured.

Justice (r) Nisar confirmed to Aaj News that his house had been attacked with a grenade and he was inside the house at the time.

The identity of the people behind the attack is still unknown.

The attack reportedly took place in the house’s garage and two policemen on duty were injured as a result.

A heavy contingent of police arrived at the house immediately after the bombing and investigations are underway.

Nisar also said that there are no CCTV cameras installed in his house.

He served as the 25th chief justice of Pakistan from December 31, 2016 till January 17, 2019.

The attack comes hours after Accountabilty Judge Muhammad Bashir was almost caught up in an aerial firing incident in Rawalpindi. Police later attributed the incident to a drug addict and said that no important personality was targeted.
