FIA grills Imran Khan in cypher allegations case

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Tuesday appeared before a team of Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and was questioned for more than two hours in a case related to a cypher that according to the former prime minister contained details of a threat made by the United States against the previous government.

In a public gathering on March 27, 2022, in Islamabad, Khan waved a letter claiming that it was evidence of an “international conspiracy” backed by the US to topple his government.

Last week, the investigation agency summoned the deposed prime minister — who was removed from office via a no-confidence motion in April last year — today (Tuesday) after the Lahore High Court (LHC) withdrew a stay order against the call-up notice to Khan by the FIA into the audio leak involving the US diplomatic cable.

The FIA launched investigations against the ex-prime minister for allegedly making public a confidential diplomatic cable and keeping it in his possession.
