An explosive claim about former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has triggered a political storm, with journalist Wajahat Saeed Khan alleging that concerns have been raised over Khan's fate in custody. There is no official confirmation that Imran Khan has died, and the claim has not been independently verified. Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party has demanded access to its founder, saying alarming reports about his health are fuelling anxiety and unrest among supporters. Imran Khan has been in jail since August 2023 and is serving a sentence in the £190 million corruption case, while facing several other cases. The controversy has also reached Washington, with some US lawmakers urging Secretary of State Marco Rubio to review the detention conditions of Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi.
