Amid rumors of Imran Khan’s death flooding social media, his three sisters have demanded an impartial inquiry into the alleged “brutal” police attack on them and supporters of the former Pakistani prime minister jailed outside Rawalpindi’s Adiala jail last week.
In a letter to Punjab Police Chief Usman Anwar, Khan’s sisters said the violence was “brutal and organized and carried out by the police without provocation”, PTI reported.
Who are Imran Khan’s sisters?
The three sisters are Noreen Niazi, Aleema Khan and Dr Uzma Khan. Last week, the three camped outside Adiala Jail, where Imran Khan is currently incarcerated along with supporters of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), after being denied a meeting with him for a month.
According to many reports, Imran Khan, son of Ikramullah Khan Niazi and Shaukat Khanum, has four elder sisters. Dr Uzma Khan – one of the four nurses – is said to be a surgeon. Another sister – Noreen Niazi – is 71 years old.
What happened to the sisters?
Noreen claimed they were brutally attacked and said she was dragged across the road and violently thrown to the ground.
“At the age of 71, I was grabbed by the hair, forcefully thrown to the ground and dragged across the road, sustaining visible injuries,” PTI news channel quoted the sister of Pakistan’s former prime minister as saying.
Imran Khan’s sisters further alleged that the street lights were turned off and the police pulled them down and hit them. The sisters insist they did not break any laws and only wanted to check on Imran Khan’s health. According to them, members of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf were also attacked.
What did the nurses say in the letter?
According to news telegraph PTI, the sisters demanded that IGP Punjab immediately initiate action against all police personnel involved in the “brutal” attack.
Imran Khan Death Rumors
Recent reports doing the rounds on social media claim that the former Prime Minister of Pakistan has been kept in solitary confinement for 22 days, with no family visits allowed for the past three weeks despite court orders.
Some unverified posts also claimed that Khan’s last rites will be held in Rawalpindi tomorrow, although no official confirmation has been issued.
In May 2025, similar rumors claimed that Imran Khan had been poisoned and killed in prison, supported by a forged press release falsely attributed to Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
