Jailed Imran Khan claims wife was given food mixed with toilet cleaner
Jailed former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Friday alleged that his wife, Bushra Bibi, was given food laced with "toilet cleaner". He also claimed that her health deteriorated as she was battling a stomach infection daily after consuming "poisoned food".
Imran Khan, who is also the chief of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) made the allegations during a hearing of a corruption case in Rawalpindi's Adiala jail, The Express Tribune reported.
Imran Khan, a former cricketer, said Shaukat Khanum Hospital Chief Medical Officer Dr Asim Yousaf had recommended conducting Bushra Bibi's tests at Shifa International Hospital in Islamabad.
During the hearing, the judge asked Imran Khan to avoid holding press conferences while in custody. In response, the former prime minister contended that he engages with journalists regularly as his statements are misquoted.
On April 17, Imran Khan alleged that Pakistan Army chief General Asim Munir was directly responsible for the imprisonment of Bushra Bibi. He also threatened General Munir if anything happened to his wife.
