No final decision has been taken yet on whether Imran Khan, Chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), will be tried under Army Act in military courts for the May 9 riots, geo.tv has reported.

A report by Ansar Abbassi of The News says that while a well-connected source says that some federal ministers are convinced of Imran Khan being the mastermind of the May 9 attack on military and civilian installations, a final decision on taking him to military court is yet to be taken.

The report states that there is a general consensus among civil and military authorities that Imran Khan plotted the May 9 mayhem, however, establishment has yet to directly name him.

The former Prime Minister is nominated in at least six FIRs in police stations in Mianwali, Rawalpindi and Gujranwala related to May 9 attacks. He is expected to be named in more as rioters record statements with law-enforcing agencies and police gather more evidence.

According to the numbers presented by the federal government in the Supreme Court of Pakistan, 102 civilians are awaiting trials in military courts. This number does not include any woman or minors.
