1. Why the rumours started
In late November 2025, social media was flooded with unverified claims suggesting that Imran Khan, the jailed former Prime Minister of Pakistan, had died inside Adiala Jail. Posts online alleged that he had “succumbed to mistreatment” and that his body was secretly moved out of the prison. These claims spread rapidly, even though no official evidence supported them.
Reports are now surfacing from inside the prisons of PUnjabi Pakistan that Imran Khan, who was being held in custody, has been killed by Asim Munir and his ISI administration according to several news outlets. If this information is confirmed to be true, it marks the absolute end… pic.twitter.com/SbbVB5uJll

2. What sparked public panic
Around the same time, Imran Khan’s three sisters reported that they were “brutally assaulted” when they attempted to meet him. They also said they had been denied access for more than three weeks. Supporters gathered outside the jail, demanding proof of his condition. Videos and statements posted online fueled public concern and created a wave of speculation about his well-being.
Imran Khan’s sister Noreen Niazi was reportedly pushed to the ground by PaK police outside Adiala Jail while protesting against the PaK government.

3. Official position on the death rumours
Authorities strongly denied the claims, calling them false and misleading. Jail officials stated that Imran Khan is alive, under supervision, and continues to serve his sentence. They also clarified that viral images circulating online were unrelated or manipulated. Officials described the rumours as part of a coordinated online misinformation effort.
4. Why people still doubt the official version
Even with official statements, several ongoing issues continue to raise doubts among the public:
- Restricted visits: His family and lawyers have repeatedly claimed they are not being allowed to meet him.
- Claims of harsh conditions: Some close to him allege he is kept in a high-security “death cell” with limited access to basic items.
- Lack of transparency: No recent, verified images or videos of Imran Khan have been released.
- History of similar rumours: Previous unverified stories about his health have created an environment where new rumours spread easily.
5. Current status and what remains uncertain
What is clear:
- Authorities confirm that Imran Khan is alive.
- Rumours of his death remain unverified.
- Meetings with his family have reportedly been promised soon.
What is still unclear:
- The reason for long-term restrictions on family and lawyer visits.
- The exact condition of his health inside the jail.
- Why no transparent, independent verification has been allowed.
Until clear and verified evidence is made public, speculation about Imran Khan’s condition is likely to continue. Greater transparency from authorities may help reduce misinformation and restore public trust.
