Did Ex-Pakistan PM Imran Khan Die in Custody? Here's the Real Story
The Rumor Mill Went Wild—But Here's the Truth
You know how one WhatsApp forward can suddenly become the truth for half the country? That’s exactly what happened with the latest rumor about Imran Khan. Over the past few days, social media exploded with claims that the former Pakistan Prime Minister died in judicial custody.
Fake press releases, doctored images, and sensational headlines were everywhere. And honestly? It got people panicking.
But here's the thing: Imran Khan is very much alive.

The entire drama started when a fake government notice began circulating online. It claimed Khan had died in Adiala Jail. Sounds legit at first glance, right? But if you looked closely, the formatting was off, the logo placement was sloppy, and the language felt a bit... off.
Trusted media outlets like DNA India, OpIndia, and The Free Press Journal quickly debunked it. Even Pakistani officials confirmed he’s still behind bars and involved in active legal proceedings.
Quick Fact Check:
- Is Khan in jail? Yes, at Adiala Jail.
