Adiala Jail Authorities Rejects Rumours of Imran Khan’s Transfer as Afghan Media Claims Unverified Report of His Death

Adiala Jail administration on Wednesday dismissed circulating rumours claiming the PTI founder had been moved out of the facility, insisting he remained inside the prison and was in good health.

“There is no truth to reports about his transfer from Adiala Jail,” officials from the Rawalpindi prison said in a statement, adding: “He is fully healthy and receiving complete medical attention.”

The officials further clarified that speculation about his health was “baseless”, stressing that the PTI founder’s well-being was being ensured.

Khan, who has been in jail since August 2023, faces multiple cases ranging from corruption to terrorism since his ouster from power via the opposition’s no-confidence motion in April 2022.

Separately, Defence Minister Khawaja Asif said the PTI founder was receiving comfort in prison compared to what he had faced while behind bars.

“Check the menu of the food that comes for him — it is not available even in a five-star hotel,” he remarked.

Asif claimed that the PTI founder had access to a television and could watch any channel he chose. “There are exercise machines for him as well,” he added, contrasting the conditions to his own incarceration.

“We slept on cold floors, ate jail food, and had only two blankets in January with no hot water,” he said, recalling that the then superintendent, Asad Warraich, had personally ensured the removal of the geyser from his cell.

The minister further claimed that the PTI founder had been provided a double bed and “a velvet mattress”, saying he should “listen to his Washington Arena speech on the jail loudspeaker”.

“Fear God — no one owns time,” the defence minister added.

Earlier — amid the growing demand for the release of Imran Khan by party supporters — a post by an Afghani media outlet stirred chaos and tensions, stating the mysterious killing of former Prime Minister Imran Khan in prison.

The claims have been made by an Afghani media outlet citing credible inputs of the mysterious killing of Imran Khan in military custody. The media outlet has further suggested that the body has been removed from Adiala Jail.

However, Afghanistan Times is the only media outlet citing the killing of the ex–Prime Minister Imran Khan in Adiala Jail, but no credible global media bodies have made any confirmation, leaving the reports unverified.
