Amidst heightened security concerns, the Punjab Home Department has issued a ban on meetings with prisoners and detainees at Adiala Jail, including visits by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Founder Imran Khan.
The department’s decision, announced on Tuesday, signifies a departure from the usual visitation procedures, with visitors now prohibited from meeting any inmates at the facility.
The move follows intelligence reports received by the Punjab Home Department, citing potential security threats associated with such meetings. These concerns have been further compounded by recent events, including the arrest of three suspected terrorists in close proximity to Adiala Jail.
