Rumours about Khan’s possible death in jail are flying all over social media and popping up in the news, leaving people worried and confused.
His younger son, Kasim Khan, isn’t staying quiet. He’s gone public, demanding proof that his father’s still alive, and says Imran’s being kept alone in Adiala Jail under brutal conditions.
On his social media, Kasim laid out the timeline
Imran’s been locked up for 845 days, and for the past six weeks, he says his father’s been stuck in a “death cell,” no contact, no phone calls, no visits-just isolation. Kasim is calling on the world and human rights groups to step in. He wants proof of life, immediate access as the courts have ordered, and an end to what he calls “deliberate isolation.”
Kasim says it’s not just the sons-Imran’s sisters, including Aleema Khan, Noreen Niazi, and Uzma Khan, keep getting blocked from visiting too, even though, according to him, the court says they’re allowed.
Adiala jail officials are brushing off the rumours
They say Imran Khan’s fine, getting the medical care he needs, and hasn’t been moved anywhere. As far as they’re concerned, all the talk about his health or a possible transfer is just nonsense.
Why the demand for proof – and what’s at stake
Kasim Khan’s call comes after weeks of silence-no official word, no photos, nothing from jail authorities, and a total media blackout on the former prime minister. It’s no wonder that Imran Khan’s supporters, and a lot of ordinary people, are worried. The secrecy has fired up real fears about his safety and even talk of something happening to him behind closed doors.
If the government doesn’t clear things up soon or allow anyone to visit Imran Khan, the pressure’s only going to build. Protesters have already gathered outside the jail. Political allies are speaking out, demanding answers. People want to know what’s really going on.
So, what do we actually know?
Officially, Imran Khan is still being held at Adiala Jail. Jail officials say he’s fine and getting proper treatment. But his family-his sons and sisters-keep saying he’s being kept in total isolation. They haven’t seen him, and there’s no proof he’s even alive.
Right now, there’s no independent evidence that Imran Khan has died. But there’s also no solid proof he’s okay. Kasim Khan’s demand for proof of life cuts to the heart of the matter: people fear a lack of transparency, possible human rights violations, and political crackdowns. Unless the authorities allow real, independent contact or some way to verify his condition, these fears will only grow. And honestly, that could turn into a much bigger problem for Pakistan, both at home and abroad.
