Speculation regarding former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s current status has intensified in Pakistan. This follows a violent incident involving his three sisters outside Adiala Jail. Reports emerged claiming that Imran Khan had been killed inside the prison, igniting widespread concern among his supporters.

Violent Incident Involving Imran Khan’s Sisters

On a recent day, Noreen Niazi, Aleema Khan, and Dr. Uzma Khan attempted to meet their brother at Adiala Jail. They were met with aggressive police action. According to Noreen Niazi, the police assaulted them without warning while they were peacefully protesting for Imran’s health.

Details of the Assault

• Noreen Niazi reported being violently seized by her hair and thrown to the ground.
• She sustained visible injuries during this altercation.
• Witnesses claim police forcefully slapped and dragged women protesting outside the jail.

Noreen criticized the actions of the Punjab police, stating their conduct represented a pattern of excessive force against peaceful citizens over the past three years. She described the police behavior as “criminal and illegal,” contradicting the obligations of law enforcement in a democratic society.

Growing Public Support

Amidst these events, thousands of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) supporters rallied outside Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi. They voiced their solidarity and concerns regarding Imran Khan’s continued imprisonment. The protests reflected mounting frustration with the ongoing political situation.

Imran Khan’s Imprisonment

Imran Khan has been incarcerated since August 2023, facing multiple legal battles. The authorities have imposed a ban on family visits to him for over a month. This has fueled rumors and uncertainty about his wellbeing.

In another significant event, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi made repeated attempts to meet Khan but was denied access. He reported seven unsuccessful attempts, suggesting that the jail authorities were under the control of an army officer.

As the situation evolves, the scrutiny surrounding Imran Khan’s whereabouts and the treatment of his family remains a focal point of concern in Pakistan.
