Evidence leader Adilah Hassim challenged amended sick notes for Khan, saying dates were changed after he was shot and warning that the circumstances could raise fraud concerns.

Khan’s legal team did not oppose postponing his Commission appearance, but argued that an independent medical assessment could trigger trauma; commissioners said the existing papers did not support that claim.
