ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Monday acquitted former prime minister Imran Khan and PTI leader Shah Mehmood Qureshi in cipher case.
IHC Chief Justice Aamir Farooq and Justice Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb announced the verdict on the pleas challenging the conviction in the cipher case.
In January this year, PTI founder and party’s vice-chairman were sentenced to 10 years each in prison in cipher case.
However, the two are not expected to be released from prison due to Imran’s sentences in the Toshakhana and Iddat cases while Qureshi has been arrested in recent May 9 cases.
