Earlier in the month, the intelligence agency had summoned Azam Khan – ex-principal secretary of former prime minister Imran Khan – for investigation of the infamous US cypher. Azam Khan was summoned by the FIA on October 27.

On September 28, an alleged audio of ex-PM Imran Khan and his aide Azam Khan discussing US cypher, which the PTI chief claimed led to the ouster of his government, was leaked.
