ISLAMABAD (Reuters) -A Pakistani court on Wednesday extended the jail custody of former prime minister Imran Khan for 14 days to investigate him on charges of leaking state secrets, his lawyer said.

Naeem Panjutha said the special court held the proceedings at Attock Jail, where Khan began a three-year prison sentence on Aug. 5 for corruption after being found guilty of unlawfully selling state gifts.
