Alima Khan, Noreen Niazi, and Dr. Uzma Khan had arrived at the jail to meet Imran Khan but were allegedly stopped by authorities. According to PTI, the women were forcibly removed from the premises and dragged onto the road. Party officials also claimed that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Minister Meena Khan Afridi, MP Shahid Khattak, and several women activists faced similar treatment.
In a video circulated by PTI, Noreen can be seen visibly distressed, alleging that female police officers grabbed her hair and pushed her to the ground, while Alima and Uzma tried to console her. Alima further alleged she was dragged along the road without any provocation. PTI condemned the government, asserting that court-approved family visits are being misused as tools of harassment.
Imran Khan has been imprisoned at Adiala Jail since August 2023, serving a 14-year sentence in multiple corruption cases, including the Toshakhana scandal and the leak of official secrets. He, along with his wife Bushra Bibi, faces charges in the Al-Qadir Trust land scam, described by Pakistan’s Home Minister Rana Sanaullah as “the biggest scam in Pakistan’s history,” with alleged losses to the national exchequer amounting to ₹50 billion.
The Al-Qadir Trust case involves allegations that Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi received bribes, including land and gifts, in exchange for wiping out legal proceedings against billionaire Malik Riaz. Reports suggest that only 32 students enrolled in the trust’s university over three years, raising questions about the legitimacy of its operations.
The incident outside Adiala Jail has intensified political tensions, with PTI demanding accountability and highlighting the treatment of Khan’s family as part of a broader pattern of pressure on the former Prime Minister.
