A significant development unfolded as a special court, operating under the purview of the Official Secrets Act, prolonged the judicial remand of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan until September 13.
The cipher case
The case, centered around a missing cipher—a classified state document that Khan had prominently displayed during a political rally prior to his departure from office the preceding year—was heard at the Attock District Jail, as reported by sources.
Presiding over the hearing, Judge Abual Hasnat Zulqarnain rendered the decision, emphasizing the gravity of the case involving the elusive cipher. This move, conducted within the confines of the jail premises, was prompted by security concerns voiced by the Interior Ministry and sanctioned by the Law Ministry.
