In recent days, the sisters of former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan have become the focal point of a dramatic series of events surrounding his detention at Adiala jail. Amid swirling rumors about Khan’s health and alleged death, the family members have stepped forward, demanding a meeting with the jailed leader and an investigation into a violent police encounter outside the prison.

They expressed deep concern over the circulating death rumors and emphasized the need to verify his wellbeing directly. Their plea highlighted the personal anguish faced by the family while also underscoring the broader political implications of the situation.
Police Assault Outside Adiala Jail
During a peaceful protest organized by PTI supporters, police forces intervened in a manner described by the sisters as brutal. They reported that officers seized them by the hair, dragged them, and used excessive force. The incident sparked outrage, prompting the sisters to demand a formal probe into the police’s actions and accountability for the alleged misconduct.
