Forensic Team Arrives at Adiala Jail for Imran Khan's Polygraph Test

 In a significant development, a forensic team has arrived at Adiala Jail to administer a polygraph test to Imran Khan, related to the tumultuous events of May 9. The team, dispatched by Lahore police, is led by DSP Javed and includes Inspectors Rana Akmal, Rana Arham, Alam Langrial, Rana Muneer, and Muhammad Ali. This crucial operation is further bolstered by experts from the Punjab Forensic Science Agency (PFSA), notably Aabid Ayub and Inspector Waqas Khalid, who will be conducting polygraph, voice matching, and photogrammetry tests on the former prime minister.

The arrival of the forensic team marks a pivotal moment in the investigation surrounding the events of May 9. On that day, following the arrest of Imran Khan by paramilitary Rangers at the premises of the Islamabad High Court (IHC) in connection with a corruption case, violent protests erupted nationwide. These protests saw alleged Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) workers and supporters attacking and vandalizing key military installations, including the General Headquarters (GHQ), as well as monuments dedicated to military martyrs.

 

The aftermath of the violence led to a robust response from authorities, who initiated a sweeping crackdown against PTI members and supporters. This response included the trials of over 100 PTI workers in military courts, reflecting the gravity of the situation. Civil and military authorities have repeatedly accused Imran Khan of orchestrating the events of May 9 as part of a larger conspiracy, a claim that both Khan and his party have vehemently denied.

 

Imran Khan has consistently refuted allegations of inciting violence or directing his followers to vandalize state properties. He has, however, acknowledged that he advised his party to stage peaceful protests outside the GHQ in the event of his arrest. The forensic examinations, including the polygraph test, voice matching, and photogrammetry analysis, aim to uncover more details about Khan's role and actions during the fateful events of May 9.

 

The polygraph test and other forensic examinations being conducted at Adiala Jail are expected to shed light on the truth behind the accusations against Imran Khan, providing critical evidence that could either substantiate or refute the claims made by civil and military authorities. The involvement of both the Lahore police and PFSA experts underscores the seriousness of the investigation and the determination to achieve a thorough and accurate understanding of the events that have had far-reaching implications for the country.
