Islamabad, Oct 2: Days after ex-Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan was shifted to the Adiala jail, his lawyer alleged that the Chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) is being ‘mentally tortured’ inside the jail premises. According to the Pakistani news outlet Ary News, ex-PM and the party’s main lawyer Naeem Hairder Panjotha claimed that Khan is being kept in a ‘C-class jail’ with little to no amenities. Panjotha made these proclamations on Saturday, insisting the cricketer-turned-politician is not allowed to come out of his ‘extremely small’ room even for a walk.

The 70-year-old politician is serving a prison sentence after a trial court in Islamabad convicted him in the infamous Toshakhana case. According to Ary News, Khan’s lawyer said that he even doubts the quality of the food which is being provided to the former premiere. Urging an open trial in the Cypher case, Panjotha questioned the in-camera hearing in the case.

On Saturday, Khan’s PTI rejected the challan ordered by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA). The party demanded the formation of a judicial commission to investigate the matter. The party claimed that the challan issued against the chairman and vice chairman Shah Mehmood Qureshi is ‘as meaningless and bogus as the cypher case,’ Ary News reported.
