The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has officially begun a probe into a recent audio leak allegedly involving former Punjab chief minister Parvez Elahi after receiving authorization from the interior ministry.
Elahi, a close aide to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan, is supposedly heard discussing running courts in the recording that was leaked.
Once Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah contacted Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Umar Ata Bandial to alert him to the audio leak, the action was taken the next day. A forensic analysis of the stolen audio was requested by the security czar. He also requested the chief judge to prosecute the offenders.
The FIA, according to the sources, has been given the assignment by Sanaullah.
The audiotape, which purportedly features Elahi, will be sent for a forensic examination in the first round.
Sanaullah also aired the redacted audio clip that was supposedly leaked by the PMLQ leader discussing the Supreme Court issues.
The sources also stated that after consulting with the interior ministry, a case would be opened if the forensic analysis of the audio leak shows that it is Elahi’s voice.
