ISLAMABAD - Security agencies have arrested Deputy Superintendent of Adiala Jail Rawalpindi Mohammed Akram for allegedly facilitating jailed PTI leader and former prime minister Imran Khan.

It,s, however, not known that what facilitation Muhammad Akram did specifically for Imran Khan and what were the messages he received and conveyed to Imran Khan. The security agencies have immediately informed the IG of Punjab Prisons about the situation. After the investigation, if allegations proved against him, departmental action could be taken against Deputy Superintendent Mohammad Akram which could be suspension, demotion and fine.
