The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has on Tuesday suspended PTI Chairman Imran Khan’s conviction and three-year sentence in the Toshakhana case.

Imran Khan was rearrested again in the cypher case right after getting bail in the Toshakhana case.
According to the judgment of Judge Abul Hasnat Zulqarnain, Khan will remain in police custody until August 30.
