Leaked Audio Reveals Justice Saqib Nisar Ordered to Jail

Leaked audio of conversation of former Pakistani Chief Justice Saqib Nisar reveals he passed instructions to sentence former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. “Institutions have asked to do so. Whether it is fair or not, it has to be done,” Justice Nisar can be heard saying. The term “institutions” here is synonymous with the military establishment.

Justice Saqib Nisar has denied the authenticity of the video as he said that it is fabricated. Speaking to Geo News on Sunday, he said “The audio clip is being falsely associated with me.” Fact Focus another news company claimed that it had obtained this audio nearly two months ago. However, it had sent the audio to be examined by a leading American firm, Garrett Discovery Inc. which specialized in multimedia forensics.
