ISLAMABAD: Six more prison staff members, including three women, have been detained by security agencies for allegedly aiding and communicating with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Founder Imran Khan, who is currently held at Adiala Jail.
According to sources, the detained individuals include a female sweeper, two female wardens, and three CCTV camera operators. Authorities have begun interrogating them.
The sources also reported that the mobile phones of the detained staff members have been confiscated. The female jail staff are accused of facilitating Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi. These detentions follow investigations involving Deputy Superintendent Muhammad Akram, Assistant Superintendent Bilal, and Nazim Shah.
Additionally, security personnel presence at Adiala Jail has been increased.
It is worth noting that since August 14, a total of 13 people, including a Deputy Superintendent, two Assistant Superintendents, and other staff members, have been detained for allegedly providing assistance to Imran Khan.
Furthermore, the list of individuals permitted to visit the former Prime Minister at Adiala Jail has been restricted.
Today, only three PTI members—Naeem Panjutha, Khalid Shafiq, and Nasiruddin Nayyar—were allowed to meet with Imran Khan. Requests from Intizar Panjutha, Shaukat Basra, and Khuram Warak to visit the former Prime Minister were denied.
