Where is Imran Khan? Former Pak PM’s death rumors take over social media; sisters assaulted outside Adial
Speculations over former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s whereabouts are rife across Pakistan after his three sisters were “brutally” assaulted by the police for seeking a meeting with their brother.This comes as several social media handles originating from Afghanistan and Pakistan claimed that Imran has been mysteriously killed inside Adiala Jail.According to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf members, Imran’s sisters — Noreen Niazi, Aleema Khan and Dr Uzma Khan — were camped outside Adiala Jail when police personnel assaulted them “for seeking a meeting with Imran Khan”.“We peacefully protested over concerns for his health condition. We neither blocked roads nor obstructed public movement, nor engaged in any unlawful conduct. Yet, without warning or provocation, the streetlights in the area were abruptly switched off, deliberately casting the scene into darkness. What followed was a brutal and orchestrated assault by Punjab police personnel,” Noreen Niazi said.“At the age of 71, I was seized by my hair, thrown violently to the ground, and dragged across the road, sustaining visible injuries,” she said.Meanwhile, thousands of PTI supporters also gathered outside Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi and raised slogans against the arrest of Imran Khan.Noreen Niazi also accused the police personnel of slapping and dragging women present outside the jail.“Police’s conduct was part of a broader and troubling pattern of indiscriminate force used against peacefully protesting citizens over three years, reflecting a troubling impunity,” she said.“Police’s conduct was wholly criminal, illegal, morally reprehensible, and in direct contradiction to the foundational duties of any law enforcement agency in a democratic society,” she added.This comes as the government has put a ban on meeting Imran inside jail for over a month. The former Pakistan PM has been in jail since August 2023 in multiple cases.Earlier, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa chief minister Sohail Afridi was not allowed to meet Khan. Afridi made seven consecutive attempts to see him in jail, but he was denied by the jail authorities, whom Khan claims were controlled by an army officer.
