The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) investigated Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Founder Imran Khan in connection with an alleged anti-state video uploaded from his X (formerly Twitter) account. The investigation took place at Adiala Jail, where the former prime minister is currently detained.
After refusing multiple times, Imran Khan joined the investigation in the presence of his lawyers, which he had set as a condition.
According to jail sources, the FIA team visited Adiala Jail for the third time to interrogate the PTI founder regarding the controversial video. The team showed Imran Khan the video in question, which had been uploaded from his X account, and questioned him about its content and origin.
The investigators questioned Imran Khan for an hour and asked him 16 questions, as per the sources.
The FIA team comprised Additional Director Ayaz Ahmed and Sub-Inspector Munib, sources said.
Imran Khan was represented by his legal team, including Chaudhry Zaheer Abbas and Intizar Panjotha, during the interrogation. Sources indicate that Khan answered the FIA's questions in the presence of his lawyers, adhering to his earlier stance that he would only respond to inquiries with legal representation present.

This development follows previous instances where the PTI founder denied involvement in any anti-state activities and insisted on legal representation during investigations. This was the FIA team's third visit to the jail, highlighting the seriousness of the allegations and the ongoing efforts to ascertain the facts surrounding the video.
The last two times the team visited, Imran Khan had refused to join the investigation, adopting the stance that he would answer the questions only in the presence of his lawyers.
On May 30, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Cyber Wing initiated an inquiry into a controversial social media post from Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan.
The post, made on May 26 from the former prime minister’s official account on platform X (formerly Twitter), addressed the 1971 civil war and the findings of the Hamoodur Rahman Commission Report.
Sources within the FIA revealed that the social media team managing Imran Khan’s account, due to his current incarceration in Rawalpindi's Adiala Jail, shared a video accompanied by a provocative quote: “Every Pakistani should study the Hamoodur Rahman Commission Report and get to know who was the true traitor, General Yahya Khan or Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.”
