Web Desk (LTN NEWS): After the Islamabad High Court’s (IHC) directives, the head of the JIT — for the third time — issued a notice to Khan, requiring him to report to Islamabad’s Margalla Police Station. PTI chief Imran Khan, however, did not show up.
PTI Chairman Imran Khan has yet again failed to appear before the Islamabad Police’s joint investigation team (JIT) in the terror case filed against him despite being summoned for the third time.
Last week, IHC told Imran Khan that he needed to help the police with their investigation of the contempt of court case against him for threatening a lower court judge, Zeba Chaudhry.
Imran Khan, according to the notice, must appear before the JIT and respond to queries regarding the charges leveled against him. The notice also stated that despite the orders of the IHC, the former PM neither appeared before the JIT nor clarified his position in the case.

JIT in the recent notice mentioned that Imran Khan was summoned on September 9 and 10 for the investigation of the case as well and the JIT waited for his arrival at the designated time, but he never showed up.
Although Khan did not appear before the JIT, he submitted a reply on Friday (September 9) through his lawyer stating that the threats issued to a female judge in a rally do not fall under “terrorism” and the case should be dismissed as he is “innocent”.
“I am the chairman of Tehreek-e-Insaf, I have been the prime minister of Pakistan, the government tortured [my aide] Shahbaz Gill due to political opposition, the report filed in the Islamabad High Court proved the torture of Shahbaz Gill,” Khan told the JIT in the letter.
PTI leader Imran Khan noted that what he said in the speech cannot be classed as terrorism, adding that he neither performed any criminal acts nor hurt anyone.
