Imran Khan’s Prison Confession In The Missing Cypher Case While Being Interrogated In Jail

According to media reports on Sunday, while being questioned by Pakistan’s top investigative agency at the Attock Jail in a case brought under the Official Secrets Act for improper use of a classified document, imprisoned former prime minister Imran Khan admitted misplacing a private diplomatic cable.

Imran Khan admits to misplacing a private diplomatic cable

Imran Khan, 70, was sentenced by a court in a corruption case earlier this month and is now serving a three-year prison term.

The cable in question was the same one that Khan had long cited as proof of a plot supported by the United States to depose him as prime minister last year.
Days before he was dismissed as prime minister in April 2022, Khan flashed a document at a rally and claimed it was evidence of a foreign plot.

Ex-Pakistan PM being questioned

Days after being charged under the Official Secrets Act for disclosing the contents of a private diplomatic cable from the nation’s embassy in the United States, the chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) is being questioned in relation to the situation.

According to reports in the media, the Federal Investigation Agency’s (FIA) CTW visited the former prime minister in jail on Saturday.

Questioning for more than an hour

According to FIA sources, a six-person joint investigation team headed by Deputy Director Ayaz Khan met Khan in the deputy superintendent’s office of the Attock Jail and questioned him for more than an hour, according to the Dawn Daily.

According to The News newspaper, Khan confessed to losing the cipher during questioning and said he couldn’t remember where he had placed it. Khan also refuted claims that the diplomatic cable was the piece of paper he held up as evidence of the conspiracy at a public event last year, just days before his administration was overthrown.
The report quoted Khan as adding, “The papers I gestured at in public were Cabinet meeting minutes and not ciphers.”
