Unverified Claims of Imran Khan's Death Spark Concerns Amid Restricted Access
Pakistani journalist Wajahat Saeed Khan claimed that three senior military officers privately fear former Prime Minister Imran Khan may have died in Adiala Jail, though no evidence confirms this. Khan's family and party allege restricted access to him, raising concerns about his health. The Pakistan Army has dismissed the death claims as baseless. PTI has threatened large protests if access is not restored, while US lawmakers have urged diplomatic engagement on Khan's detention conditions. The situation remains tense and unverified.
