# Pakistan Army denies Imran Khan death rumours as journalist backtracks 2026-08-12T17:16:01+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 3 independent outlets Pakistan’s military has dismissed as “false” and “fabricated” reports that jailed former prime minister Imran Khan died in custody. The denial came after journalist Wajahat Saeed Khan claimed in an interview that three senior military sources told him Khan was “no longer with us”. The journalist later clarified his sources had not confirmed the death and said the denial meant Khan was alive. Khan, 73, has been held at Adiala Jail since 2023 and faces over 100 cases, according to The Guardian. His current imprisonment is primarily tied to a 14-year sentence in the Al-Qadir Trust case. PTI leader and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi has warned that two million people could protest if Khan’s family and party colleagues continue to be denied access to him. ## Coverage - indiatvnews.com - timesnownews.com - livemint.com Tags: Adiala Jail, death rumours, Imran Khan, Pakistan, PTI, Wajahat Saeed Khan Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/imran-khan-death-rumours-denied-by-pakistan-army/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
