The cipher is a confidential diplomatic cable that was sent to Khan by the Pakistani ambassador to the United States. It is alleged that Khan leaked the contents of the cipher to the media, which could have compromised Pakistan’s national security.
The FIA investigation team Imran Khan grilled in jail on his knowledge of the cipher, how he came to possess it, and why he leaked its contents. Khan denied leaking the cipher, but he could not provide a satisfactory explanation for how he lost it.
The FIA team is expected to submit a report on its investigation to the court next week. Khan could face further charges if the investigation finds that he leaked the cipher or if he is found to have been negligent in its handling.
The case against Khan has been seen as politically motivated by his supporters. They argue that the government is trying to silence Khan and his party, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
The PTI has called for a nationwide protest on Sunday, August 28, to demand Khan’s release. The party has also threatened to boycott the upcoming general elections if Khan is not released.
The case against Khan is a sensitive one, and it is likely to be closely watched by the international community. The outcome of the case could have a significant impact on Pakistan’s political landscape.
