Viral Death Hoax: Is Imran Khan Dead?
On May 10, 2025, social media platforms erupted with rumours claiming that former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan had died in judicial custody. Allegations even suggested that he was murdered on the orders of Pakistan Army Chief General Asim Munir. These unverified claims were backed by a fabricated press release, quickly flagged by experts as fake.
Despite the widespread panic, no official source or credible news outlet has confirmed Imran Khan’s death.
The Source of the Rumour: A Fake Government Document?
The viral document, labelled as Press Release No. 427/2025, allegedly from Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stated:
“It is with deep regret and solemnity that we confirm the passing of former Prime Minister Imran Khan in judicial custody…”
It also claimed that a transparent investigation was underway and that the government was coordinating with international human rights bodies. However, this statement was never published on any official Pakistani government website or social media channel.
The Viral Image: Misleading and Outdated
The photo circulating alongside the rumour—showing Imran Khan injured—has been proven false and misleading. It dates back to 2013, when Khan was injured after falling from a stage during an election rally in Lahore. This same image was recycled in May 2023 amid similar false rumours after his arrest.
No Official Confirmation: Experts Call the Claim Fabricated
Leading fact-checkers and journalists from OneIndia, Geo News, and BBC Urdu have confirmed the following:
-
There is no confirmation of Khan’s death from Pakistani authorities.
-
No medical reports or eyewitness accounts support the rumour.
-
The so-called official press release lacks verification and authenticity.
-
Pakistan's military and civil authorities have remained silent or dismissed the rumours as baseless.
Political Context: Tensions with General Asim Munir
The hoax also reignited political controversies involving General Asim Munir, with some alleging power misuse within Pakistan’s military establishment. A close aide of Imran Khan was quoted saying:
“Pakistan is bleeding because of Asim Munir’s ego.”
While tensions between Khan and the Pakistan Army are well-documented, there is no verified evidence linking the army chief to any alleged foul play.
