Officials emphasized that speculation regarding his transfer or wellbeing was “baseless,” assuring the public that the PTI chief continues to receive complete medical attention.
“There is no truth to reports about his transfer from Adiala Jail,” a statement from the Rawalpindi prison said. “He is fully healthy and under constant medical supervision.”
Imran Khan has been incarcerated since August 2023, facing multiple legal cases ranging from corruption to terrorism charges following his removal from office through a no-confidence motion in April 2022. The clarification comes amid rising speculation on social and mainstream media regarding his conditions behind bars.
Separately, Defence Minister Khawaja Asif commented on the PTI founder’s treatment in prison, asserting that Khan’s current incarceration conditions were more comfortable than what many political prisoners, including himself, had faced in the past. “Check the menu of the food that comes for him—it is not available even in a five-star hotel,” Asif said, highlighting the luxury afforded to the PTI chief.
