After refusing to appear before investigators twice in connection with the controversial tweet case, the incarcerated Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan has finally joined the probe into the debatable video that appeared on his official X account a few days ago.
The former premier Khan formally joined the FIA’s probe which was launched after a controversial video regarding the Fall of Dhaka incident had been posted on his official X account.
“Every Pakistani should study the Hamood ur Rahman Commission Report and get to know who was the true traitor, General Yahya Khan or Sheikh Mujibur Rahman,” the post read.
The sources said that an investigation team comprising FIA’s Additional Director Ayaz Ahmed and Sub-Inspector Munib reached the Adiala Jail, again, to question the PTI founder.
It emerged that Khan joined the investigation in the presence of his lawyers Chaudhry Zaheer Abbas and Intezar Hussain Panjutha.
During the probe, the FIA team grilled Khan after showing his debatable X post in jail.
Not only Khan, but the FIA had also served notices to three other PTI top leaders in connection with the case, including Barrister Gohar Khan, Omar Ayub and Raoof Hasan.
However, Omar had excused from appearing before the FIA due to a “busy schedule”, whereas, Gohar and Raoof appeared before the investigators on Wednesday.
Additionally, the Islamabad High Court (IHC), following a petition against the FIA’s call-up notices, also directed the probe agency not to take any adverse action against them, besides directing the PTI leaders to join the probe.
