ATC judge Malik Ejaz Asif rejected the plea filed by former Prime Minister Imran Khan for a WhatsApp call with his sons weekly.

In response to Khan’s petition, the jail administration told the court that there is no legal provision for allowing the accused to have a conversation with their relatives via WhatsApp.

However, the court previously ruled that Imran Khan, who is imprisoned in Adiala Jail, be allowed to speak with his children twice a month currently resides in the UK with their mother Jemima Khan.
