RAWALPINDI: The federal government has formed a two-doctor medical panel to examine Imran Khan, founder of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf and former prime minister.

According to sources, the panel consists of Dr. Amjad and Dr. Nadeem Qureshi. The doctors are expected to conduct a medical examination shortly, after which a decision will be made regarding whether Imran Khan should be transferred to a hospital.

Earlier, Federal Minister for Information Atta Tarar stated that further medical evaluation would continue for Imran Khan’s ongoing eye treatment.

 In a tweet, he mentioned that the PTI founder would be treated by ophthalmology specialists at a specialized medical facility, and a detailed report of the examination and treatment would be submitted to the Supreme Court of Pakistan.

The minister also urged the public to avoid speculation regarding the treatment of the PTI founder.

Meanwhile, A bail petition has been filed in the Islamabad High Court seeking suspension of the sentence against Imran Khan, founder of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, in the Toshakhana case.

The petition was submitted by barristers Salman Safdar and Khalid Yousuf Chaudhry, who also filed a miscellaneous application for early hearing regarding the 190 million-pound case.

The petition states that Imran Khan is suffering from a serious condition in his right eye, diagnosed by Dr. Muhammad Arif at PIMS Hospital.

Due to a blood clot, his vision in the right eye has been severely affected, with only 15% remaining functional. The petition argues that treatment for this condition is not possible while in jail.

It further notes that at the age of 73, Imran Khan requires bail to undergo urgent medical treatment.

In response to journalists’ questions, barrister Salman Safdar clarified that Imran Khan reported that PIMS doctors informed him—after tests and research—that he has lost 85% of vision in his right eye.

ISLAMABAD: The government has decided to transfer Imran Khan, the former Prime Minister and PTI founder, from Adiala Jail to Islamabad Jail, officials confirmed.

Mohsin Naqvi stated that since Imran Khan’s sentence was handed down by an Islamabad court, he will now serve his term at the Islamabad facility.

Speaking at a passing-out ceremony of Islamabad police officers, Naqvi highlighted the importance of a well-trained federal police force.

He said that previously, the force lacked a dedicated counter-terrorism unit. “We started the training three months ago, which is a six-month course, but our officers completed it in just three months with day-and-night efforts,” he said, praising the trainers and officers involved.

He added that Islamabad’s training schools are being upgraded, and personnel from other regions will also be able to receive training there. “Having this force is very important. I am confident that these young officers will courageously tackle terrorist threats,” he said.

Regarding Imran Khan, Naqvi clarified that once Islamabad Jail is fully operational, Khan will be moved there. He noted that the facility will be ready within two months and is equipped with all necessary medical services. Since Khan’s conviction was issued by an Islamabad court, his transfer to Islamabad Jail has been deemed appropriate.

Imran Khan

ISLAMABAD: An official report on facilities provided to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan at Adiala Jail has revealed that his right-eye vision has deteriorated to only 15 percent.

According to the report, Imran Khan requested examinations by his personal doctors, Dr. Faisal Sultan and Dr. Asim Yousuf, and stated he could also be examined by other specialist doctors. Due to the restrictions of solitary confinement and lack of TV access, he demanded access to books.

Supreme Court Orders

The Supreme Court has directed that Imran Khan be given access to eye specialists and telephonic contact with his sons.

Security and Daily Routine

The report notes that Khan expressed no concerns regarding his security, mentioning that roughly 10 CCTV cameras monitor the compound. One camera partially covers the washroom, but no cameras are installed inside his cell.

Imran Khan’s daily routine reportedly includes:

Breakfast at 9:45 am, consisting of coffee, porridge, and dates.

Recitation of the Quran for approximately one hour starting at 11:30 am.

Physical exercise using limited equipment.

Access to a walking shed inside the secure compound after a 1:15 pm bath.

Lunch between 3:30 and 4:00 pm, planned weekly and funded by his family, including a rotation of chicken, meat, lentils, or snacks.

From roughly 5:30 pm until 10:00 am the following day, Khan remains confined to his cell, located about a five-minute walk from the main block of Adiala Jail.

Cell Amenities

His cell contains:

Three high-voltage bulbs, a ceiling fan, and a blower heater.

Two tables, a wall clock, a single bed with mattress, four pillows, two blankets, a chair, a small rack, and a prayer area with tasbih.

32-inch TV installed on the wall, but nonfunctional.

About 100 books on a table, along with two dumbbells, two apples, tissue paper, mouthwash, air freshener, shaving gel, and shaving kit.

A 4.5×4.5 ft toilet, separated by a 4-ft wall, with external access to hot and cold water, a wash basin, and a mirror.

Health Concerns

The report states that until October 2025, Khan had normal vision (6×6). He later experienced persistent blurriness, ultimately leading to a severe clot in his right eye.

 Despite treatment—including an injection administered by PIMS specialists—the right-eye vision has been permanently reduced to 15 percent.

This report provides the first detailed account of Khan’s health, daily regimen, and prison living conditions following his incarceration at Adiala Jail.

Ex-PM Imran Khan meets wife Bushra Bibi at Adiala Jail

Ex-PM Imran Khan

RAWALPINDI:  Former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan was allowed to meet his wife Bushra Bibi at Adiala Jail, jail sources confirmed.

According to prison officials, the meeting lasted for around 30 minutes and was held in the conference room of the jail.

Sources said such meetings between Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi are arranged once a week in line with jail regulations.

It is pertinent to note that Bushra Bibi had also met Imran Khan last week. During that meeting, the couple reportedly spent about 45 minutes together, inquiring about each other’s well-being.

Jail authorities stated that the meetings are facilitated under standard procedures and security protocols.

Toshakhana-II: Imran Khan, Bushra Bibi get 17-year jail term each

Toshakhana-II

ISLAMABAD: Former Prime Minister and PTI founder Imran Khan, along with his wife Bushra Bibi, has been sentenced to 17 years in prison each in the Toshakhana-II case.

The special Central Judge Arjumand Shah announced the verdict at Adiala Jail, although none of the lawyers representing the couple were present in court.

Under Sections 409 of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC), Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi were handed seven-year sentences each, contributing to the overall 17-year imprisonment. Additionally, the court imposed a fine of PKR 10 million on both.

The Toshakhana-II case dates back to July 13, 2024, when the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) arrested Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi at Adiala Jail.

The couple remained in NAB custody for 37 days before the bureau filed a reference in the Accountability Court on August 20, 2024. Following the Supreme Court’s reinstatement of NAB amendments, the case was transferred to the FIA Anti-Corruption Court on September 9, 2024.

The trial began on September 16, 2024, before Special Judge Central Shah Rukh Arjumand at Adiala Jail. During the trial, a total of 21 witnesses were examined, including former Military Secretary Brigadier (R) Muhammad Ahmad, private appraiser Sohail Abbasi, and Imran Khan’s former Principal Secretary Inaamullah. Four prosecution witnesses were later withdrawn by the FIA. The trial continued for nearly a year with over 80 hearings held at Adiala Jail.

Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi are accused of receiving a Bulgari jewelry set from the Saudi Crown Prince in 2021, valued at over PKR 67.15 million. According to FIA records, the couple undervalued the jewelry through a private appraiser, recording its price at only PKR 5.9 million.

The gift, which included a necklace, bracelet, ring, and earrings, was not deposited in Toshakhana, nor was its proper value recorded. FIA investigations revealed undue influence was used to undervalue the set.

The government was represented by Federal Prosecutors Zulfiqar Abbas Naqvi, Barrister Umair Majeed Malik, Bilal Butt, and Shahvez Gilani, while the defense team included Arshad Tabrez, Quthain Faisal Mufti, and Barrister Salman Safdar.
