Islamabad: Capital Territory Police (ICT) have registered a first information report (FIR) of former prime minister Imran Khan’s then-principal secretary Azam Khan “going missing”.
A Kohsar police official said the case registered under “abduction” allegations. Azam’s nephew Saeed Khan submitted the application after he disappeared in the federal capital.
Police sources said the application stated that the former principal secretary left his house on Thursday evening and did not return, adding that his cell phone was off.
Police stated they will investigate before filing a case.
Moreover, The Islamabad police advised Azam’s family to go to the relevant police station to start legal action. The cops promised to find the missing government officer.
Last year, recordings of the former prime minister, his party leaders, and the ex-principal secretary leaked.
In one audio leak, the former premier encourages his then-principal to “play” with the US encryption.
While, Khan allegedly told Azam on the audio—the date of which is unknown—to “let’s just play” with the cypher and not mention America.
Azam informs Khan how to use the cypher to advance PTI’s political goal, including using Foreign Secretary Sohail Mahmood to emphasise the subject at a “bureaucratic level”.
Just days after a sound bite of the former prime minister purportedly urging his then-principal secretary to “play” with the US encryption leaked, another PTI chairman and team audio tape surfaced.
Khan, Asad Umar, Azam, and Shah Mahmood Qureshi were on the audio.
Audio transcription:
Imran Khan: Shah jee [Shah Mahmood Qureshi], you, Azam Khan, and I must meet tomorrow with the foreign secretary [Sohail Mahmood]. We shall ask him to sit quietly and write the meeting minutes. Azam [Khan] wants the minutes written and the photostat kept.
Khan: When did this cypher arrive?
Another meeting participant: The 8th.
Khan: The meeting was on the 7th. American names are never required. Please do not specify the country. This is crucial for everyone. Which nation sent the letter? Don’t tell me.
Umar: It’s a letter? This meeting transcript isn’t a letter.
Khan: Meeting transcripts and letters are identical. Transcripts aren’t understood. Rallies must state this.
