Imran Khan’s Physician Dismisses Slow Poisoning Claims Amidst Incarceration
Dr. Faisal Sultan, the personal physician of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan, stated that there is no clear evidence of slow poisoning during Khan’s custody. Dr. Sultan made these remarks during a conversation with journalists outside Adiala jail, where he had a meeting with Imran Khan on Thursday.
Khan’s personal physician, Dr. Sultan emphasized that Imran Khan was not under the influence of poison, nor had he been administered any. He found Khan to be “fit” during their meeting and stated that the former prime minister was “hale and hearty.”
In a separate development, Imran Khan provided a statement to the joint investigation team (JIT) on Thursday, denying his involvement in the violent riots that occurred on May 9.
