PTI chairman likely to be indicted in cipher case tomorrow
KARACHI (Dunya News) – The chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) is likely to be indicted in the cipher case today (Monday).
A special court formed under the Official Secrets Act will conduct the hearing of the case in the Adiala Jail.
Former foreign minister and PTI Vice Chairman Shah Mehmood Qureshi is also likely to be indicted in the case.
Both the top PTI leaders are currently incarcerated in the Adiala Jail since their arrests in August this year.
During the last hearing, special court judge Abul Hasnat Zulqarnain, after resuming the proceeding, ordered the distribution of copies of the challan (charge sheet) among the defence counsel.
The cipher case relates to a diplomatic document that reportedly went missing from the PTI chief’s possession. The PTI alleges that the document contained a threat from the United States to oust the party chairman as the prime minister of Pakistan.
