ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Thursday again deferred indictment of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan in contempt of ECP and Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) case until December 6.

The PTI chief was not presented to the ECP from Adiala Jail due to security concerns. A day earlier, an accountability court had extended bail of Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi till December 6 in Toshakhana and Al-Qadir Trust cases.
