Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Senator Khurram Zeeshan has dismissed rumours surrounding the alleged death of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, confirming that the PTI chairman is alive and currently being held in Adiala jail. His remarks come amid a wave of unverified claims circulating on Afghan social media accounts earlier this week, alleging Khan had been murdered in custody.

Speaking to ANI, Zeeshan said Khan has been kept in near-total isolation for almost a month, an action he described as a deliberate attempt to pressure the former Prime Minister into leaving Pakistan. He noted that Imran Khan’s family, legal team and senior PTI leaders have been denied access to him despite court orders permitting visits.

“It is very unfortunate. His isolation is a complete violation of human rights," Zeeshan stated. “They are trying to force him into something."

The refusal to allow his sisters to meet him for the past month, coupled with the absence of any recent photographs or video proof of wellbeing, fuelled speculation online about Khan’s fate.

‘Imran Khan is alive’

Zeeshan sought to put an end to the rumours, asserting that the party has received assurances regarding Khan’s safety.

“In the last few days, we have been given a guarantee. He is alive and currently lodged in Adiala jail. He is okay," he confirmed.

According to Zeeshan, authorities are attempting to coerce Imran Khan into accepting an exile deal. He claimed the government has offered concessions if the PTI founder agrees to leave Pakistan and remain silent abroad.

“They are trying to strike a deal… but Imran Khan will never agree to it. The kind of leader he is, he will never approve it," he added.

Despite his confinement, Zeeshan argued that Khan’s political influence remains undiminished. PTI’s support base, particularly among young Pakistanis, continues to expand, with the party’s message gaining momentum across generations.

“When such situations arise, they bring out the best in people. Those who believe in these values are stepping forward," he said.

Zeeshan further claimed that the government’s refusal to release recent images of Khan stems from fear that even a single photograph could galvanise public sentiment in his favour.
