The internet’s favorite rumour mill has churned out a big one today: “Imran Khan, former Prime Minister of Pakistan, has died in judicial custody.”
That’s right — a viral ‘press release’, supposedly from Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry, is doing the rounds online, and let’s just say… it has all the drama of a Netflix political thriller, minus any actual evidence.
So, is it true? Is Imran Khan really dead?
Spoiler alert: probably not.
🧾 What’s This Viral Document?
Some genius with a template and free time decided to create what looks like a government statement. It claims:
“Imran Khan passed away under mysterious circumstances while in custody.”
The document also promises a “transparent investigation,” which is about as believable as a Pakistani cricketer walking during an LBW appeal.
But here’s the kicker:
No official agency has confirmed this. Not the government. Not the courts. Not even
Geo News.
Even more telling — PTI, Imran’s own party, hasn’t said a word.
🚨 Major Red Flags (Besides the Fonts)
- No coverage from BBC, Reuters, Al Jazeera, Dawn, or any actual news outlet.
- No government press conference. Just vibes.
- No word from Imran Khan’s legal team, family, or his party.
- Social media platforms like X and Facebook are already flagging the post as “potentially fake.”
If this was a real government announcement, we’d expect more than just a low-res screenshot shared on WhatsApp with 12 emojis.
🤷 So, What’s Going On?
Let’s look at the possibilities:
