Medical checks ordered for Khan as sister jailed in Pakistan

A specialist medical team visited Adiala Jail to conduct a comprehensive health assessment of Imran Khan, the incarcerated former Prime Minister of Pakistan. According to reports, the doctors examined Khan's blood pressure, cholesterol levels and eye health during the prison visit.

The medical evaluation raises questions about Khan's health condition while in detention. Khan, who was arrested in August 2023, has faced multiple charges including corruption allegations, which he has denied. His supporters have previously raised concerns about his wellbeing in custody.

In a parallel development, Khan's sister was remanded to jail as part of ongoing legal proceedings against the former premier and his associates. The simultaneous detention of family members underscores the intense political situation surrounding Khan, whose Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party has been at odds with Pakistani authorities.

The former cricket star's incarceration has remained a contentious issue in Pakistani politics, with his party continuing to demand his release. Khan's detention comes amid broader political turbulence in the country, with tensions between various institutions and political factions.
