Former DG ISI Lieutenant General Asad Durrani was court-martialed and sentenced to life imprisonment for writing a book, though his sentence was later reduced.

In 2019, Lieutenant General Javed Iqbal received a life sentence for espionage, while Brigadier Rizwan was sentenced to 14 years for links with foreign entities. Other notable cases include Colonel Shahid, Major General Tajammul Hussain, and Brigadier Mustansir Bala, who were all court-martialed and received significant prison terms or dismissals from the army.
