Despite bail order, Imran Khan remains in jail over ‘cypher case’

Former Prime Minister Imran Khan received some rare good news on the legal front when the Islamabad High Court suspended his three-year prison sentence in a corruption case and ordered his release on bail.
But his joy was short-lived on Tuesday as a special court in Islamabad ordered him to remain in custody in a connection with the “cypher case” and instructed authorities to present him before the court on Wednesday.
The cypher case is related to a diplomatic document that allegedly went missing when it was in the former leader’s possession.
