Imran Khan had challenged the registration of the FIR and sought bail in the case filed against him and the party’s vice chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi for misusing the secret document for their political gains.
A special court formed under the Official Secrets Act has indicted both party leaders. They are currently incarcerated at the Adiala jail.
The FIA, in its challan, stated that the former prime minister and the ex-foreign minister were found guilty in the matter and requested the court to conduct their trial and sentence them in the case.
Former PTI secretary-general Asad Umar’s name was not added to the list of accused while Imran Khan’s former principal secretary Azam Khan was also named as a “strong witness” in the case.
Moreover, the FIA also attached the transcript of Imran Khan and Qureshi’s speech on March 27 – the day when the former premier brandished a letter claiming it was a cipher from a foreign nation, that wanted his government to be removed from power.
The agency also submitted a list of 28 witnesses to the court with the challan after recording their statements under Section 161.
The names of former foreign secretaries Asad Majeed, Sohail Mehmood and the then additional foreign secretary Faisal Niaz Tirmizi have also been added to the list of witnesses.
