Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah on Thursday stated that the FIA might arrest former prime minister Imran Khan if he failed to cooperate with their investigation into the cypher.
The minister s warning came on the heels of Imran’s former principal secretary’s bombastic confession on Wednesday in which he allegedly accused former premier of using a cipher from Pakistan’s mission in the US to gain political mileage and build an “anti-establishment narrative”.
Earlier, on July 18, the Lahore High Court (LHC) withdrew a stay order against the call-up notice to former primer Imran Khan by the FIA in an inquiry into an audio leak relating to the cipher controversy.
