It was not clear whether he had been hit in the foot or leg, but an aide was quoted as saying he was not in danger. Mr. Khan, 70, was leading the march on the capital Islamabad to demand snap elections after he was ousted.
A senior aide told AFP news agency: “This was an attempt to kill him, to assassinate him.” A male suspect was later arrested, according to Pakistan’s Geo TV.
Last month, Pakistan’s election commission disqualified Mr. Khan from holding public office in a case described by the former star cricketer as politically motivated.
