Punjab Restores In-Jail GHQ Attack Trial for Imran Khan

A fresh notification cancels video hearings, triggering tightened security at Adiala for expected witness testimony Tuesday.

Overview

  • The Punjab government issued a formal notification reinstating Imran Khan’s GHQ attack proceedings inside Adiala Jail, reversing its September 15 venue shift.
  • Prosecutor Zaheer Shah confirmed the cancellation of the video-trial order and said in-person hearings at the prison could resume as early as Tuesday.
  • The prosecution plans to present three witnesses at the next hearing: Inspector Yaqoob Shah, DSP Mirza Javed, and Inspector Nazim Hussain Shah.
  • The Adiala Jail superintendent has asked Rawalpindi police for additional deployment to establish a foolproof security setup for the proceedings.
  • In parallel cases, an ATC extended interim bails for Shah Mahmood Qureshi, Asad Umar, Azam Khan Swati, Musarrat Jamshed Cheema, and Jamshed Iqbal Cheema, while a special court gave Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi a final chance to answer a Toshakhana-II questionnaire by October 8.
