In yet another blow to Imran Khan, the jailed former Prime Minister of Pakistan has been booked under the Official Secrets Act for making the content of a confidential diplomatic cable from the country's embassy in the US, public. Mr Khan currently serving a three-year jail term after he was sentenced by a court in a corruption case earlier this month.

Quoting unnamed sources, a report in Geo News claimed that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman has been booked under Section 5 of the Official Secrets Act 1923 in the cipher case on the basis of a first information report registered by the Federal Investigation Agency against him.
