After an anti-terrorism court turned down a police ask to expand their real trial, Aleema Khan and Uzma Khan, the daughters of former Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan, were moved to the District Jail Jhelum from Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail on Saturday, according to Dawn.
They were ordered to be moved to prison on administrative custody, according to the court.
According to police sources, the Jhelum prison has tight security measures in place, with around 500 prisoners being relocated it in smaller groups to keep things order. As reported by Dawn, attempts to speak with Jail Superintendent Syed Hassan Mujtaba Shah for opinions were fruitless.
The ATC in Rawalpindi had earlier rejected the daughters ‘ physical custody and issued observes regarding their loan applications.
Legitimate representatives from both sides made their arguments as Aleema and Uzma were presented in court under heavy security.
According to Dawn, Defense Counsel Niazullah Khan Niazi argued that there were no basis for a second custody.
Prior to this, prosecutor Raja Naveed pressed for additional trial, claiming that police needed more time to recover” essential evidence,” including smart phones and other items.

Usman Riaz Gill, a different defense attorney, raised concerns about legal irregularities in remanding ladies, arguing that legitimate methods were not followed correctly. He also requested that the jury look at the police’s video to show the police’s reported misconduct, as Dawn reported.
Judge Tahir Abbas Sipra turned down the request, stating instead that the police authorities should examine the USB.
The prosecutor also expressed frustration with the prosecution’s theories, pointing out that authorities may have “documented every growth” in the case.
The court issued notices to the offenders ‘ loan programs, and the next hearing is scheduled for October 19th, according to Dawn.
The court later issued finds regarding the sisters ‘ loan applications, with the next hearing set for October 19.
