ISLAMABAD: The government has decided to transfer Imran Khan, the former Prime Minister and PTI founder, from Adiala Jail to Islamabad Jail, officials confirmed.
Mohsin Naqvi stated that since Imran Khan’s sentence was handed down by an Islamabad court, he will now serve his term at the Islamabad facility.
Speaking at a passing-out ceremony of Islamabad police officers, Naqvi highlighted the importance of a well-trained federal police force.
He said that previously, the force lacked a dedicated counter-terrorism unit. “We started the training three months ago, which is a six-month course, but our officers completed it in just three months with day-and-night efforts,” he said, praising the trainers and officers involved.
He added that Islamabad’s training schools are being upgraded, and personnel from other regions will also be able to receive training there. “Having this force is very important. I am confident that these young officers will courageously tackle terrorist threats,” he said.
Regarding Imran Khan, Naqvi clarified that once Islamabad Jail is fully operational, Khan will be moved there. He noted that the facility will be ready within two months and is equipped with all necessary medical services. Since Khan’s conviction was issued by an Islamabad court, his transfer to Islamabad Jail has been deemed appropriate.
