Police in Pakistan stormed former Prime Minister Imran Khan's residence in the eastern city of Lahore on Saturday, arresting 30 people and launching tear gas after someone opened fire from the roof of the building, officials said.

Police used bulldozers to smash down the main gates to the residence, according to news reports.

Senior police officer Suhail Sukhera, who is leading the operation in the upscale neighbourhood, said police moved to dismantle blockades erected by Mr Khan’s Tehreek-e-Insaf party and defiant supporters.

He said that baton-wielding supporters of the former leader attempted to resist police by throwing stones and petrol bombs, but the officers were able to move forward until a man on the roof of Mr Khan’s residence opened fire. No one was hurt.

Mr Sukhera said that police broke open the main door of Mr Khan’s residence and found masks, petrol-filled bottles, iron rods and batons used in attacks on police during the week. Inside the sprawling residence, he said, illegal structures were erected to shelter those who have been involved in attacks that have injured dozens of police officers.

Witnesses said police attempted to disperse Khan supporters by firing tear gas and chased them to several homes in the wealthy neighbourhood of Zaman Park.
