The claim that former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan died in custody on May 10, 2025, is false. No credible evidence supports this allegation. A viral press release, supposedly from Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry, appears to be fabricated and has not been confirmed by any official sources. Major news outlets have also not reported his death. In fact, Khan is confirmed to be alive, serving a 14-year prison sentence for corruption. His sister denied any health issues in February 2025, and Khan filed a bail application on May 5, 2025. The rumor originated from a decade-old video and an unverified X post.
