"Khan grilled for an hour in jail, reiterates losing cipher

In a solemn yet revealing chapter, former PM and PTI Chairman Imran Khan found himself once again in the spotlight, this time within the confines of Attock Jail. A three-member team from FIA's Cybercrime Circle, spearheaded by Deputy Director Ayyaz Khan, held a crucial session of questioning.

The topic of focus: the enigmatic cipher that had eluded Khan's grasp. With candor, Khan acknowledged his loss and the baffling absence of memory regarding its location. His interaction with the FIA team, a delicate balance between transparency and guarded responses, unfolded in the quiet corridors of the jail.

The Cybercrime Circle's inquiry delved deep, probing the intricacies of the missing cipher. Khan's willingness to engage, marked by patience and cooperation, echoed a commitment to resolve the puzzle. Sources revealed the diligent exchange of questions and answers, a dance toward a conclusion.

Yet, Khan's assertion stirred intrigue. He denied that the paper he brandished before the public was the missing cipher. Instead, he clarified, it was a fragment of cabinet meeting minutes. A privilege of his prime ministerial tenure, he asserted the right to carry such documents. However, the riddle lingered: why unveil it as the elusive cipher?

Hints emerged that this session might signify the final chapter in the cipher's enigma. As sources whispered, it was potentially the last investigation into this intricate matter. Collective efforts aimed at mutual understanding seemed imminent, a testament to the complexity of the case.

The week ahead carried the promise of resolution. The investigation's impending completion was on the horizon, a journey culminating in the submission of the challan to the court. The legal machinery churned, destined to cast light on the cipher's shrouded fate.

Meanwhile, a legal tussle of a different kind brewed. Imran Khan, unrelenting in his pursuit of justice, challenged the rejection of nine bail applications in the Islamabad High Court (IHC). These applications encompassed cases intertwined with events like the May 9 riots, attacks on the Judicial Complex, and the convoluted web of fake accounts. His legal advocate, Salman Safdar, took the charge in IHC, seeking a revisitation of the decisions. The pursuit was not just for personal relief; it was a plea to evaluate these cases on their merits, shielding the PTI chairman from potential arrest.

Legal labyrinths extended beyond IHC. The Supreme Court had been invoked earlier, a petition against IHC Chief Justice Aamer Farooq. The invocation of Article 186-A advocated for the transfer of cases from IHC to the Lahore or Peshawar High Courts. The complexity of judicial routes mirrored the intricate cipher puzzle.

Separately, a parallel saga unfolded, tracing its course on the digital frontier. The FIA Cybercrime Circle's swift action culminated in a case against PTI leaders. Accused of orchestrating a false campaign against state institutions on social media, they included notable figures like Hammad Azhar, Musarrat Jamshed Cheema, Qasim Suri, Omer Sarfraz Cheema, Azam Swati, Ali Zaidi, and Fawad Chaudhry. Summoned but unresponsive, the investigation embarked on an independent path. FIA's evidence trail culminated in the registration of a consequential case.

Within the corridors of investigation, personal assertions, legal battles, and digital narratives converged. The human touch of each episode remained a constant, transcending the complexities that wove the tapestry of these interwoven tales. As Khan's journey continued within the legal labyrinth, the larger narrative of truth-seeking and justice remained the focal point.
