Imran Khan Is Alive and in Custody,” Says Lawmaker, Accusing Govt of Forcing Ex-PM Out

When rumours swirl and reality seems cloaked in silence, the truth becomes desperate — and for many, the question is not whether, but when someone brave enough will speak out. That’s precisely what happened on 29 November 2025, when a lawmaker from Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) claimed that Imran Khan, the former Prime Minister of Pakistan, is “alive and in custody,” urging the world to not fall prey to chilling rumours.
According to the report by ANI (as carried by media), the lawmaker declared that Imran Khan is lodged in Adiala Jail and being deliberately kept in isolation — a tactic allegedly used by the ruling establishment to pressure him into silence or force him out of the country.
Rumours, Silence — and a Demand for Proof
In recent days, numerous social-media channels and certain unofficial sources had propagated alarming rumours: that Imran Khan had died in custody. These claims triggered shock, disbelief, and widespread anxiety among his supporters. The uncertainty was magnified because for weeks, the former PM reportedly had no contact with his family, lawyers, or party members.
Against this backdrop of fear and conjecture, the statement by the PTI lawmaker served as a lifeline for many. He asserted, “He is alive and currently lodged in Adiala jail. He is okay.”
Simultaneously, prison authorities at Adiala Jail — the same facility — publicly denied any rumours of death or transfer. They insisted that Khan remains inside the jail, in “good health,” under medical care.
What Does This Mean — and What Are the Accusations?
From the perspective of PTI and Khan’s supporters, this episode is not just about rumours — it reflects a broader concern about political suppression, forced isolation, and denial of basic rights. The lawmaker’s allegation is serious: that the government (or “regime,” as he calls it) is using imprisonment, isolation, and lack of transparency to break Khan’s influence and force him into exile or silence.
On the other hand, the jail authorities claim to treat Khan as a “VIP prisoner,” with accessible facilities and regular medical attention. According to them, there have been no transfers or harm.
But even if basic facilities are provided (as the jail claims), the longer deprivation of communication — no visits from family or lawyers, no official update on health or wellbeing — fuels mistrust and fuels suspicions of a cover-up. As his son Kasim Khan recently said, “We demand proof of life.” He appealed to international human-rights organisations to intervene, warning that such “absolute blackout” cannot be passed off as standard security protocol.
Why This Matters — Not Just for Imran Khan, But for Democracy and Transparency
At stake here is more than one man's fate. When political prisoners — especially high-profile figures — are denied basic rights such as family contact, legal access, or transparency about their condition, it raises larger questions about rule of law, human rights, and democratic accountability.
For supporters of Imran Khan and PTI, this is a test. They see it as evidence of silencing dissent, undermining opposition politics, and using courts and jails to subdue political rivals. For critics, there might be suspicion that such allegations are part of political theatre. But either way — when rumours of death circulate, with no proof either way — the people demand clarity.
The Role of Media, Rumours and the Danger of Misinformation
Social media and unofficial channels played a major role in fuelling the initial panic. In absence of official verification, speculation spread fast. That’s why the lawmaker’s statement and the official jail response — though conflicting — carry real weight. They help anchor truth in a sea of uncertainty.
This incident once again highlights how quickly misinformation can spread. In a highly polarized environment, rumours — sometimes even fake — can destabilize public opinion, create panic, and erode trust. The value of credible reporting from trusted media houses, and transparency from institutions, becomes critical.
What Supporters and Critics Are Saying
Among supporters of Imran Khan and PTI, there is a renewed sense of urgency: they want his right to be seen, his legal rights respected, and clarity on his condition. Many fear that prolonged isolation is a strategy to suppress his popularity and eventually force him into exile. Some voices urge international intervention — saying that silence on a figure this influential is politically motivated, and anti-democratic.
Critics, however, may question whether the lawmaker’s claims are part of political posturing, or attempts to re-energize PTI’s support base. They may argue that the prison statements indicate that allegations are overblown. But in absence of independent verification, such claims remain contested.
What’s Next — What People Should Watch Out For
As this story develops, several things are crucial to watch:
-
Whether prison authorities allow family, lawyers or independent observers to meet Imran Khan — that would help verify claims about his wellbeing and whereabouts.
-
Whether any credible photographs or video evidence of him being alive are released (or allowed) — as lack of any visual proof fuels suspicion.
-
How media, both local and global, handle coverage — whether they lean on verified facts or continue speculation.
-
Whether political pressure — from his party, supporters, or international bodies — results in greater transparency or access.
For democracy and justice, what matters is not who is right or wrong politically — but whether a human being’s rights and dignity are respected, even under custody.
Conclusion: In Uncertainty, Demand Transparency
The controversy surrounding Imran Khan’s health, detention, and alleged isolation reflects a deeper crisis: when political power, fear, suspicion and secrecy converge, truth becomes vulnerable.
At this moment (29 November 2025), what we know is limited — we have a statement from a PTI lawmaker claiming Imran Khan is alive and being kept in custody; we have official prison statements contesting rumours of death; and we have the repeated demand from Khan’s family for proof of life.
What we must demand — as citizens, readers, and as people who believe in fairness — is transparency. Not only for Imran Khan, but for every individual whose life may be trapped between rumours and silence.
Because when truth is hidden, fear spreads. And when fear spreads unchecked — democracy suffers, justice is undermined, and hope dims.
Until there is concrete proof — until family, lawyers, or neutral observers get access — the uncertainty will remain. But silence is not an option. Silence helps no one.
