The report, generated after a fortnightly jail inspection on August 15, exposed the unsettling fact that the CCTV camera was strategically placed, leaving no space for the privacy of the ex-premier and current PTI chairman. Imran Khan had been confined to Attock jail since August 5, subsequent to his conviction in the Toshakhana (gift repository) case.
