ISLAMABAD: PTI founder Imran Khan has not been shifted to a new cell or barrack and he is still staying at his place, Adiala Jail Superintendent Ghafoor Anjum told Jang/News in an exclusive conversation. He said that all facilities were available to him as before and he never complained about the comfort and convenience in the jail. “Shaukat Khanum Hospital doctors came to the jail, examined his teeth and gave medicines which made him healthy. He did not complain of hemorrhoids or any other such ailment after coming to prison,” he added.

He said, “He works out for about three hours intensely without interruption and speculations about his health are baseless. Jail staff are urged to treat every inmate with kindness. Rumours about Imran Khan’s health and solitary confinement are completely false and they will also be proved to be a lie when meetings with him are allowed.”
