Following Akram’s alleged role in facilitating Imran Khan, he faced suspension from his deputy superintendent position. Afterward, Deputy Superintendent Judicial Tahir Siddiquie Shah assumed the role of Imran Khan’s security supervisor.

Punjab Home Department (Prison Section) dismissed Muhammad Akram through notification with instructions to vacate the position and report to the Prisons Department, Lahore.

Ex Deputy superintendent M Akram was responsible for preparing food of khan and someone was pressuzing him to give acces to the site of food what does mean? it's only mean that they are planning to harm khan in prison.

LEAs had started interrogating senior officers of Central Jail Rawalpindi (Muhammad Akram) since his arrest. This investigation led to further detention of six more employees.

According to media sources, Akram would convey messages of Imran Khan secretly outside Adiala Jail. Imran Khan has been behind bars for more than a year after being charged in several cases.

An un-Islamic marriage with Bushra Bibi, Toshakhana case, and the cipher case are among some of his cases. On the other hand, Bushra Bibi is also serving imprisonment at Imran’s residence Banigala Mansion for several months.
