Former Pakistan PM Imran Khan Returned to Jail After Hospital Checks

Former Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan was transferred back to a jail facility early on Friday, shortly after he was taken to a hospital for court‑ordered medical examinations, the government said. The move followed a court order that required Khan to undergo a health check before the next stage of his legal proceedings. He was escorted from the hospital by security personnel and placed in the custody of the prison authorities.

The transfer comes amid a series of legal challenges facing Khan, who has been in detention since the end of his term. Authorities have cited the need to ensure that the former leader’s health is monitored while he remains under judicial supervision. The government has indicated that the decision was made in accordance with the court’s directives and that Khan’s legal team will be notified of the next steps in his case.
