The former cricket star, who has been pressing for a general election since he was ousted as prime minister after losing a confidence vote in Parliament in April, was shot at the rally last Thursday. He is recovering from leg wounds.
Regional police chief Akhtar Abbas told Reuters a criminal investigation had been launched.
A copy of the police report lodged by Wazirabad police and seen by Reuters said a man in the crowd near Mr Khan had taken out a pistol and started shooting, wounding the former premier and 10 other people, one of whom later died.
