The law-enforcement agencies (LEAs) have broadened the scope of their investigations after two former Adiala Jail officials, who are currently in their custody, have disclosed the names of people who gave them money to provide facilities to the former prime minister and ex-PTI chairman Imran Khan against the jail manual, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Thursday.

Sources told 24News that not only that these ex-officials were also passing on the incarcerated leader’s messages to his party leadership.

The jail’s former deputy superintendent, Muhammad Akram, and former assistant superintendent Bilal were sacked in June this year when the LEAs had received reports of their activities.  

On Wednesday, 24News reported that Adiala Jail's ex-deputy superintendent Muhammad Akram had been arrested on charges of aiding incarcerated Imran Khan.

Earlier, Akram had been sacked from his post, while Deputy Superintendent Judicial Tahir Siddique Shah was made security supervisor of Imran Khan.

The Punjab home department (prison section), through a notification, had removed Muhammad Akram, directing him to leave the charge and report to the Prisons Department, Lahore.

The law-enforcement agencies started interrogating the arrested senior officer of Adiala Jail.
