Pakistan Army Denies Claims of Imran Khan's Death Amid Access Restrictions and Protests
A US-based Pakistani journalist reported that three senior military officers privately feared former Prime Minister Imran Khan may have died in custody, though no direct evidence confirmed this. The Pakistan Army dismissed these claims as baseless. Khan's family, lawyers, and party members have faced restricted access to him, raising concerns about his health. The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party has threatened large-scale protests if visitation rights are not restored. The situation remains tense amid ongoing legal cases against Khan and calls for transparency.
