Adiala jail officials rejected rumours on Wednesday that the PTI founder had been moved out of the prison, confirming he was still inside and in good health.
“There is no truth to reports about his transfer from Adiala jail,” officials from the Adiala jail said in a statement, adding: “He is fully healthy and receiving complete medical attention”.
Officials said all rumours about the PTI founder’s health were baseless and stressed that his well-being was being looked after.
Imran Khan, in jail since August 2023, faces several cases, including corruption and terrorism, after losing power through a no-confidence vote in April 2022.
Separately, Defence Minister Khawaja Asif said Khan was now more comfortable in prison compared to his previous time behind bars.
“Check the menu of the food that comes for him — it is not available even in a five-star hotel,” he remarked.
“We slept on cold floors, ate jail food, and had only two blankets in January with no hot water,” he said, recalling that the then superintendent, Asad Warraich, had personally ensured the removal of geyser from his cell.
The minister further claimed that the PTI founder had been provided a double bed and “a velvet mattress”, saying he should “listen to his Washington Arena speech on the jail loudspeaker”.
