Former Pakistani PM Imran Khan returned to custody after hospital stay

Khan was moved from hospital care to Adiala Prison, where he remains in custody amid ongoing legal proceedings. A spokesperson for the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf confirmed the transfer, marking the former premier's return to the detention facility in Rawalpindi.
The development comes as Khan faces multiple legal cases following his ousting from power. His party has maintained that the charges against him are politically motivated, a claim disputed by Pakistani authorities.
Khan's detention has remained a focal point of political tension in Pakistan, with his supporters staging demonstrations demanding his release. The former cricketer-turned-politician has been a polarizing figure in Pakistani politics since his election in 2018 and subsequent removal from office in 2022.
