RAWALPINDI: Law enforcement authorities have detained the former Deputy Superintendent of Punjab Jails, who was transferred from Central Jail Adiala in June this year, under suspicion of acting as a “messenger” for the PTI founder, according to local media reports on Wednesday.
Deputy Superintendent Judicial Tahir Siddique Shah took over as the security supervisor for PTI founder Imran Khan following the removal of Muhammad Akram on June 20.
This arrest is being viewed as a significant development, occurring just two days after the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) announced the arrest of retired Lt. Gen. Faiz Hameed, the former head of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), on charges of violating the Army Act. The process of a Field General Court Martial has been initiated against him.
Reports indicate that the former Deputy Superintendent of Adiala Jail was apprehended from the jail colony and is reportedly under investigation for allegedly facilitating the PTI founder, who has been held in the jail for over a year.
