ISLAMABAD: Rumours of former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan’s death resurfaced as the Indian media has started to amplify these unverified claims, spreading misinformation about the PTI founder.

An account on X named Afghanistan Times claimed that Khan had been “mysteriously killed” and that his “body has been moved out of the prison,” Indian media reported. Based on these false claims, the Indian media has started doing propaganda, spreading this information without any honesty.
This is not the first time such speculations have circulated about Imran Khan. Analysts say Indian media repeatedly propagates these false rumours, exaggerating events in Pakistan to create misleading narratives and portray instability.
Observers note that such reporting damages credibility and reflects a persistent pattern of propaganda in some sections of Indian media, which often focus on sensationalism rather than verified facts.

Additionally, the Indian media has repeatedly exaggerated events in Pakistan to create sensational narratives.
Even as no protests were taking place outside Adiala Jail on Wednesday afternoon, Indian media continued to broadcast what it described as “live” coverage of PTI supporters’ protests. Reports indicate that the demonstration had ended hours earlier, around 12:30 AM.
At the time, Pakistani channels showed 4:14 PM while Indian channels displayed 4:42 PM, yet coverage continued as if the protest were ongoing.
Pakistani analysts say this raises questions about why some Indian outlets remain so focused on amplifying unrest around Imran Khan and his party.
Observers often accuse these channels of anti-Pakistan bias.
Pakistani journalists monitoring the event reported that PTI workers dispersed shortly after midnight due to cold weather.
Despite this, Indian media continued to run “live” tickers, implying that the protest was still taking place. Analysts describe this as “manufactured coverage,” a recurring pattern in which outdated or misleading visuals are used to create a narrative of chaos inside Pakistan.
