The administration of Adiala Jail (where Imran Khan is held) has denied the rumors about his death or serious health deterioration. They issued a statement saying that Imran remains “fully healthy,” is receiving regular medical care, and has not been transferred from the jail. The Hans India+2Rozana Spokesman+2
The government and some leaders of his party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) have repeated that there is “no truth” to reports of his demise. The Economic Times+2Hindustan Times+2
In short — no verified evidence has emerged confirming that Imran Khan has died. Officially, he is alive and in jail.
Imran Khan’s family — including his sons — have publicly raised grave concerns about his wellbeing. His son Kasim Khan recently said that there has been no contact with their father for several weeks, despite a court-ordered right to visits. They claim there has been a total blackout: no visits, no calls, no medical updates, and no proof of life. Reuters+2Hindustan Times+2
Members of PTI and supporters say the jail has repeatedly denied family and lawyers access to him — fueling suspicion and public outrage. Dawn+2India Today+2
Rumours of his death began circulating on social media and certain media outlets, which some analysts believe could be deliberate misinformation. TIME+2Indian Witness+2
Because of this, many in Pakistan and abroad — including his supporters — feel uneasy and are demanding independent verification: a simple photograph, in-person family visit, or medical update.
The government has imposed Section 144 in Rawalpindi, restricting public gatherings, and sealed roads leading to the jail. This has been done ahead of planned protests by PTI supporters demanding access to Khan. www.ndtv.com+1
There is a tense political atmosphere: the absence of transparent updates about Khan’s condition, combined with denial of family visits, continues to fuel rumours and unrest. Dawn+2Hindustan Times+2
At present, there is no verified, credible evidence to confirm that Imran Khan has died or is seriously unwell. Official statements and jail authorities claim he is alive and receiving care. However — lack of transparency, refusal to grant family access, and silence over weeks have understandably led to serious suspicion and widespread demand for “proof of life.”
In absence of open verification — photograph, video, medically attested report, or family visit — the uncertainty will likely continue, especially under politically charged circumstances.
