KARACHI: Pakistan Peoples Party leader Dr Asim Hussain has filed an FIR stating his life is under threat by unidentified persons.

The report quotes Asim as saying that he was near Boat Basin Chowrangi in Karachi on April 20 when a white car with tinted glasses approached the vehicle he was in. According to him, the white car was followed by a black car in which four armed persons were sitting.

Sensing fear, he told his driver to speed forward.
