He expressed these views while talking to foreign journalists on Wednesday.

“We'll share important development about this case soon with the media,” said the DG ISPR. He said that they did not know where he [Ihsan Ullah Ihsan] was. He stated that the account used to threaten Nobel Laureate Malala Yousafzai was not of Ihsan Ullah Ihsan.

A video clip emerged on social media last year in February in which Ihsan Ullah Ihsan was seen as saying that he had escaped from Pakistan but no response was given by Pakistan military that time regarding the news of his escape.

In an audio message that went viral on social media, Ihsan Ullah Ihsan claimed that he had handed himself over to Pakistani state institutions after an agreement in February 2017.
