Former Prime Minister and Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan has been indicted on Monday in a case related to the leaking of secret state documents.
Along with Khan, his party’s Vice-Chairman and former foreign minister, Shah Mahmood Qureshi, has also been indicted in the case. If proved, the charges carry sentences of up to 14 years imprisonment.
Imran Khan was arrested in August in a case related to state gifts, however, he and Qureshi are currently jailed in the cipher case.
Imran Khan’s lawyers told the media outside Adiala jail, where the indictment was read out, that they will contest the indictment.
