Islamabad police reach Attock jail to shift Imran Khan

Islamabad: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan was shifted from Attock Jail to Adiala prison on Tuesday evening as per court orders by the Islamabad Police.

Attock Jail was met by a large detachment of Islamabad Police, supported by a convoy of 13 vehicles, including police vans and an ambulance with medical personnel and physicians.

Imran Khan's relocation was decided upon as a result of the ongoing court case being heard in Attock Jail regarding the cypher case.

The decision follows a holdup in the court order's execution, which Chief Justice Aamir Farooq issued yesterday.

The court also reserved its verdict on a petition seeking an open hearing of the PTI chief’s bail plea in a cypher case.

The PTI chief is facing charges of corruption, misuse of authority in several cases, including the Toshakhana case, the cipher case and the marriage case.
