The transferred Adiala Jail deputy superintendent has been ‘arrested for aiding’ Imran Khan.
Deputy superintendent of Adiala Jail Muhammad Akram has been arrested on charges of helping detained Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan, sources told Geo News on Wednesday.
Akram was dismissed from his post on June 20, while Deputy Superintendent Judicial Tahir Siddique Shah replaced him as security supervisor of PTI founder Imran Khan.
The Punjab home department (prison section), through a notification, had removed Muhammad Akram, ordering him to leave the charge and report to the Prisons Department, Lahore.

The law enforcement agencies started questioning the arrested senior officer of Central Jail Rawalpindi — also known as Adiala Jail.
The sources claimed Akram would allegedly deliver the jailed PTI founder messages outside the prison facility secretly.
They said that the LEAs formally informed the Inspector General of Prisons, Punjab, regarding the senior police officer arrest and investigation.
After the inquiry, the suspect would face departmental action.
