New Delhi:  Hamid Mir (48) is considered to be the most influential TV news presenter in Pakistan. Currently he hosts ‘Captial Talk' show for Pakistan's Geo News TV.

 
On Saturday, while Hamid was heading towards the office of Geo TV from Karachi airport where he had just landed, he was chased by assailants who fired three bullets at him.



Police said he sustained three gunshot wounds, but that his life was not in danger.
 
Mir's brother, a leading investigative journalist, has accused the country's intelligence agency, the ISI (Inter-Services Intelligence), of orchestrating the attack.



According to his brother, Mir had recently told family and colleagues that he had received threats from the ISI because of his political views.
 
This has not been the first time that Mir was targeted by assailants.
