Imran Khan Rumours Death News: Family Raises Concerns Over Jail Conditions
Rumours suggesting that former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan may have died while in custody have stirred widespread alarm — but authorities insist he remains alive and under custody at Adiala Jail. Amid the uproar, his family and supporters are raising serious concerns over the conditions of his imprisonment and the lack of transparency surrounding his welfare.
What sparked the rumours?
Earlier this week, social-media posts — some reportedly originating from Afghan media outlets — claimed that Imran Khan had been killed in jail. The unverified messages spread rapidly across platforms, triggering panic and confusion.
At the same time, three of his sisters, Noreen Niazi, Aleema Khan and Dr Uzma Khan, publicly said they had not been allowed to meet him for several weeks. When they attempted to visit the jail this week, they claimed police physically assaulted them — allegations that sparked outrage among supporters and renewed demands for clarity.

Family and supporters demand answers
The sisters filed a formal complaint with the provincial police authority, demanding a thorough and impartial investigation into the alleged assault outside Adiala Jail. According to their statement, the protest was peaceful — they simply wanted to confirm Imran Khan’s whereabouts and wellbeing. “We were not blocking roads, nor obstructing public movement,” one of them reportedly said; “yet we were brutally attacked.”
Supporters of his party — Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) — gathered outside the jail demanding transparent access, regular family visits and independent oversight of jail conditions. The incident has reignited debates over prisoner rights, political imprisonment and government accountability.
Jail authorities respond — deny death rumours, confirm custody and medical care
In an official statement on 27 November 2025, Adiala Jail authorities dismissed claims about a secret transfer or death of Imran Khan as “baseless.” They stated that Khan remains in custody at Adiala Jail and is receiving regular medical attention.
The statement further claimed that despite rumours and media frenzy, Khan’s cell conditions are satisfactory — including access to a comfortable bed, standard meals and even a television. The authorities emphasized that any speculation regarding his death or disappearance is purely rumor.
Why this matters
- The widespread rumours — although unverified — have triggered public anxiety and mass protests, reflecting deep distrust among some sections of society towards authorities currently handling his case.
- The alleged police assault on family members seeking jail access raises important human-rights and legal questions over treatment of prisoners and their relatives.
- The lack of transparent, verifiable information about Khan’s current status underlines how quickly misinformation can spread in politically charged environments — especially when custody and isolation are involved.
Takeaway
As of now, there is no credible evidence confirming the death of Imran Khan. The official position of jail authorities is that he remains alive, incarcerated at Adiala Jail, and under medical supervision. Meanwhile, his family’s demands for independent investigation — into both the assault on his sisters and his living conditions — underscore the urgency of transparency and accountability in custodial cases. The situation remains volatile, with growing calls for clarity and justice from citizens, media and political stakeholders alike.
