ISLAMABAD: Aleema Khan, the sister of PTI founder Imran Khan, on Monday dismissed reports about the former premier’s meeting with an ex-army chief at Adiala jail as “totally fake”.

“All the news circulating on social media that a former army chief met Imran Khan in Adiala jail [is] fake,” she said in a post on the social media platform X.

She said the claims had been verified with PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan, who also confirmed that “this is totally fake”.

“It is disinformation, especially spread to distract from the fact that Imran is being tortured through total isolation,” she said. She added that the claims were an attempt to distract from Imran not being provided proper treatment for his eye condition, not being allowed to speak to his sons, not being provided books for the past six months and not having access to television in his cell.
