During the proceeding, Sardar Tariq Farid advocate told the court that Khalid Khawaja was taken to South Waziristan in 2010 under a plan of which audio recording was with Ramna Police Station, Islamabad. Police have been provided with all the evidences but police were evading in a traditional way to register a case.
