PTI raises alarm over Imran Khan's sister's health in custody

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf has raised concern over the health of Imran Khan's sister while she is in custody, in brief reports carried by two Indian news websites that left the central details unstated.

Lokmat Times reported that the party had raised alarm over what it described as her deteriorating health in custody. TripuraTimes.com carried the same claim, saying the party had flagged the deterioration. Neither website published a full account beyond that, and neither named which of Imran Khan's sisters was referred to, the place where she is being held, or the nature of the illness.

No named PTI office-holder, lawyer, doctor or prison official was quoted in either report. Neither carried any statement from the federal government, from a provincial administration, from a hospital or from a prisons department. No medical report, request for treatment or court order was described in either account.

Because the reports did not identify the sister or the facility holding her, the claim could not be checked against any official record. Skardu Times could not independently confirm the allegation, and no Pakistani authority has publicly commented on it in the material available.

Both reports were attributed to the party rather than to any medical assessment, leaving open when the alleged deterioration began, whether a doctor has examined her, and whether the family has sought treatment or a court remedy.

PTI has not, in the accounts available, issued its own written statement setting out the same claim, and it was not immediately clear whether the two websites were drawing on a party statement, a social media post or an unnamed source. Until the party publishes details or a named official speaks, the report rests on an unattributed claim reproduced by two outlets.
