Law enforcement agencies have arrested Muhammad Akram, the former deputy superintendent of Punjab prisons, who was transferred from Adiala Jail in June this year, on charges of “facilitating Imran Khan as a messenger,” Dawn News reported.
He was reportedly picked up from the jail colony.
The arrest follows the military’s detention of retired Lt Gen Faiz Hameed, the former head of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), on charges of violating the Army Act.
The founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has been imprisoned for over a year, with multiple cases filed against him, including the Toshakhana case, the cypher case, and the un-Islamic marriage case.
