Unsubstantiated claims about the death of imprisoned former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan spread rapidly across social media on Wednesday, as his three sisters filed a formal complaint alleging they were violently attacked by police outside the Adiala Jail where he is being held.
The rumors, which Pakistani and Indian media outlets reported originated from an unnamed Afghanistan-based news source, claimed Khan had been "mysteriously killed" inside Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi. No official statement from Pakistani authorities has addressed the claims, and no credible evidence has emerged to support the reports.
The viral speculation comes amid escalating tensions over Khan's detention and access to the 72-year-old former cricket star turned politician, who has been imprisoned since August 2023 on multiple charges he and his supporters say are politically motivated.
