ISLAMABAD -- Pakistan's judiciary is in the grips of its biggest scandal in memory as senior judges accuse the country's powerful security service of using violence and intimidation to strong-arm them into jailing former Prime Minister Imran Khan.
The explosive allegations by six top judges of the Islamabad High Court -- including claims that one jurist's brother-in-law was abducted and tortured with electric shocks -- were laid out in a letter to Pakistan's Supreme Court, which is hearing the claims. The government has separately launched a probe into the allegations which first surfaced in late March.
