RAWALPINDI: Security agencies on Wednesday took former deputy superintendent of Adiala Jail into custody for facilitating Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf Founder Imran Khan in the jail.
Deputy Superintendent Muhammad Akram was charged for helping the PTI founder and exceeding his authority.
Akram was removed from his post on June 20, while Deputy Superintendent Judicial Tahir Siddique Shah replaced him as security supervisor of PTI founder Imran Khan.
The Punjab home department (prison section), through a notification, had removed Muhammad Akram, directing him to leave the charge and report to the Prisons Department, Lahore.
The security agencies are investigating the DS, who has been accused of secretly conveying messages to the founder PTI.
The security agencies have informed to the Inspector General (IG) Jail about the arrest.
Departmental action would be initiated against the official after the completion of probe.
Earlier in the day, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) announced that it will organize public gatherings in three major cities, as reported by ARY News.
During a flag-hoisting ceremony at the DC Office in Buner, PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan revealed that the party plans to hold rallies in Islamabad, Lahore, and Karachi following their power show in Swabi.
He emphasized that PTI will persist in its efforts to secure the release of its founder, Imran Khan, both through legal channels and public demonstrations. "We will fight for Imran Khan’s freedom in the courts and during public gatherings," the PTI Chairman stated.
Barrister Gohar also highlighted the need for collective efforts to ensure the country's protection, progress, and prosperity. "We are prepared to make any sacrifice for the peace and security of Pakistan," he affirmed.
