Meanwhile, the PTI has also issued a statement countering the confessional statement of Azam Khan while his whereabouts are unknown.

The party said that the confessional statement of Azam Khan, who has been missing since last one month, is a bundle of contradictions. The reality of his statement is yet to be determined but this is a reality that he has been missing since June 17, the party added.

The PTI said a case of Azam Khan’s disappearance has already been lodged and the federal police have so far failed to trace him.

The PTI further remarked that the legal experts consider unthinkable the recording of a missing person’s confessional statement before a magistrate under section 164.
