Former Prime Minister Imran Khan's trial for violence on May 9 last year may be transferred to military courts due to attacks on military installations. Government spokesperson Barrister Aqeel Malik stated that the Army Act could apply. Khan's arrest sparked violent protests, with his party workers allegedly damaging military sites. Malik accused Khan of orchestrating the riots. The trial could proceed in a military court following the arrest of former intelligence chief Lt-Gen (retired) Faiz Hameed.
