Adiala Jail authorities in Rawalpindi issued a firm statement on November 27, 2025, confirming that jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan remains in "completely good health" and has not been transferred or harmed, directly countering rampant social media rumors of his death in custody. The clarification followed viral posts, including from 'Afghanistan Times,' alleging Khan succumbed to mistreatment with his body secretly removed—claims fueled by a violent clash outside the prison involving Khan's three sisters: Noreen Niazi, Aleema Khan, and Dr. Uzma Khan. PTI leadership was informed of his status, with officials assuring full medical care amid the 73-year-old's over two-year incarceration since August 2023 on corruption, terrorism, and state secrets charges he deems politically motivated.​

The sisters' public letter to Punjab police chief Usman Anwar detailed a "brutal and orchestrated" assault by officers during a peaceful protest at Factory Naka checkpost last week, after being denied meetings for over a month. Streetlights were allegedly switched off, plunging the area into darkness before the attack on PTI supporters demanding health updates on Khan, who they claim endures solitary confinement and isolation. Thousands of PTI workers clashed with police, attempting to storm the jail until assurances of meetings—potentially today and next Tuesday—calmed tensions.​

Khan's restricted access persists: Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa CM Sohail Afridi failed seven meeting attempts, while family and lawyers face delays. PTI accuses caretaker and elected governments of suppression, arguing secrecy breeds misinformation in polarized politics. Adiala Jail, under Punjab CM Maryam Nawaz's administration (though she denies control), has an army colonel overseeing matters per Khan's prior claims.​

These periodic health/death rumors coincide with political flux, sustaining PTI's relevance despite crackdowns barring Khan from elections. Analysts link spikes to public anxiety over his enduring popularity as opposition icon.​ Authorities urged responsible reporting to prevent unrest, emphasizing no incidents occurred inside and Khan receives close monitoring.​
