Imran Khan, Pakistan’s former prime minister, is sent back to Adiala Jail after a brief hospital visit for a medical evaluation. Multiple outlets report that he is transferred to a hospital for checks and then returned to custody shortly afterward.

The hospital details vary across accounts. The Independent says a Supreme Court order allows access to a private medical panel, while the Kathmandu Post reports he is examined at the state-run Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences instead of the private Shifa International Hospital referenced by the court. Other reports broadly describe a court-ordered assessment and subsequent return to prison without emphasizing the specific facility.

Outlets also note ongoing legal and political context. IOL and others link the episode to Khan’s health concerns and his continuing legal battles. The Punch and Scroll.in add that his family and political party criticize how authorities handled the hospital visit and raise concerns about his well-being and incarceration conditions.
