Former Pakistan spy chief Faiz Hameed received a 14-year prison sentence for violating state secrets and abusing authority. The military court convicted him of engaging in political activities and causing wrongful loss to persons. Hameed served as ISI chief from 2019-2021 under former Prime Minister Imran Khan's government and remained a staunch Khan supporter who openly challenged the military. After Khan's ouster, Hameed took early retirement but was detained in August 2024 following allegations of raiding a real estate developer's businesses. He was stripped of all rank for multiple violations of the Pakistan Army Act. Information Minister Attaullah Tarar confirmed Hameed interfered in politics by advising Khan post-retirement, spreading chaos. (PC: NDTV)
