The Story in Brief
The Pakistan Army has denied reports that former prime minister Imran Khan has died in custody. Journalist Wajahat Saeed Khan, who first broke the news citing three senior military sources, later clarified that the information was unverified and had come through informal channels.
Khan remains jailed at Adiala Jail since 2023, facing multiple cases. His family and PTI leaders say they have been denied access, raising health concerns. PTI has announced a long march to Islamabad on September 27. Thirteen US lawmakers have also urged the State Department to raise his detention conditions with Pakistan.
The Indian Opinion
The death rumour spread like wildfire with no verification, while the authorities have kept Imran Khan’s condition shrouded. PTI threatens mass protests, and the government stonewalls access, both sides benefit from the fog. The real test is whether an independent observer, a UN official or even a journalist, is allowed to see Khan. Until that happens, every claimant can spin the narrative.
