The development comes days after the Supreme Court granted bail to former prime minister Imran Khan and Shah Mahmood Qureshi in the cypher case.<\/p>\n

However, both leaders were not released immediately due to their involvement in other ongoing cases.<\/p>\n

The cypher case pertains to a piece of paper that Imran had waved at a public rally on March 27, 2022, ahead of a vote of confidence that he lost. The former prime minister, later naming the US, had claimed that the cypher was \u2018evidence\u2019 of an \u201cinternational conspiracy\u201d to topple his government.<\/p>\n

Shah Mahmood Qureshi was serving as the foreign minister at that time and was indicted in the case on October 23.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
