These claims are untrue, and Khan remains imprisoned in Adiala Jail. The rumors were amplified by a viral video of an injured Khan, which was actually from a 2013 incident. Pakistan's Ministry of Information and Broadcasting confirmed the press release was fake, debunking the claims of his death. Khan is currently serving a sentence in Adiala Jail, with his party expressing concerns about his safety amid rising tensions between India and Pakistan, and a recent ceasefire violation.
