Islamabad, Nov 27: The news that former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has died mysteriously in jail is doing the rounds on social media, causing a huge stir in the Pakistani social media.
Unverified claims about the death of former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan in jail have been trending on social media.
The rumours started after a news handle called Afghan Times claimed that it had information from sources that former Prime Minister Imran Khan was “murdered” in Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail.
These baseless and unverified claims have not been confirmed by any credible organization or department so far. A photo purported to be of Imran Khan’s dead body is doing the rounds on social media.
Imran Khan's sisters have been accused of assaulting him by police after they visited Adalah Jail to investigate the reports circulating about him, raising doubts about his death.
According to a member of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party, Imran Khan's sisters Noorin Nizam, Aleema Khan and Dr. Uzma Khan were protesting outside Adalah Jail. They were concerned about their brother's health and were requesting to be allowed to meet him.
However, Noorin Nizam alleged that the police suddenly turned off the street lights without giving any warning and attacked them in the dark.
