Viral claims surrounding Imran Khan's alleged assault in Pakistani jail spark controversy | READ

Following the Pahalgam attack, India-Pakistan tensions are at a high point. Against this tense diplomatic scenario, a report by Pakistani news site Dawn has been doing the rounds on social media, and it has ignited great debate. The report, which some social media managers state implies that ex-Pakistan PM Imran Khan was sexually molested in jail, has drawn major attention. A few of the handlers have even gone to the extent of publishing medical reports, claiming that Khan was raped by a Pakistani Army Major.

Prevalence of sexual assault in prisons

Those handlers who put up the supposed report assert that sexual assault of males is a common problem amongst Pakistani inmates and is employed as a tool used to debase people of their honor and pride. It's important to mention that the claims were not officially confirmed. Live Hindustan and other sources have not put these claims to test, and therefore there has to be caution exercised while consuming and sharing information on such sensitive matters.

Medical check-up in Adiala jail

In March, a team of Pakistani doctors went to Adiala Jail to give Imran Khan a medical check-up after allegations about his health. The check-up took 30 minutes, but the report was not made public. This incident has fueled speculation and anxiety regarding Khan's health while in detention.

Restrictions on Imran Khan's visitation rights

Another PTI leader who is close to Imran Khan disclosed that Khan was not being allowed to meet his sisters or other family members. Additionally, his personal doctor was refused access to visit him, and there were fears regarding his health and treatment in prison. These limitations have raised concerns regarding Khan's conditions and the transparency of the prison authorities.

Incidents have set social media aflame with debate

The incident involving Imran Khan's reported assault and behavior in prison is still surrounded by doubt. While the incidents have set social media aflame with debate, the absence of official confirmation means that extreme care must be exercised when discussing such delicate matters. As details emerge, it will be essential to depend on credible sources to correctly grasp the facts.
