Judges Ibrahim Ali and Adam Arif told staff during a pre-Ramadan gathering Tuesday morning that the leak came from the court and warned that the whistleblower will be identified and punished, VFP and Raajje TV reported, citing sources present at the meeting.

According to the anonymous sources, police have been questioning staff over the leaks after checking all the computers at the court.
