Read Dawar's convoy escapes attack in North Waziristan
Earlier in January, Dawar's convoy was attacked by unidentified assailants in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s North Waziristan. The local police said that while Dawar was campaigning when his convoy came under fire in Tehsil Miranshah village Tapi.
However, Dawar, shielded by his bulletproof vehicle, remained unharmed during the assault. The police responded swiftly and immediately relocated the politician to a nearby secure location, while law enforcement initiated a search for the assailants. The police revealed that gunfire damaged the front and side windows of Dawar’s car, but the bullet-proofing ultimately safeguarded him from harm, allowing for his secure evacuation to a protected site.
