“Imran Khan Alleges Sexual Assault in Jail, Sparks Outrage”

A document circulating on social media claims that the former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan was sexually assaulted in jail. The document claims that Khan’s medical examination was done by the Pak Emirates Military Hospital (PEMH) in Rawalpindi. However, as per the officials, Khan’s medical examination was done by a team of doctors from PIMS — Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences, which is in Islamabad. As per WION’s Pakistan Bureau Chief Anas Mallick, the document in circulation is fake.

What does the document say?

The circulated document claimed the medical report was sent to the General Headquarters (GHQ) Rawalpindi.

The subject of the medical evaluation summary and discharge authorisation pending – suspected sexual assault case”.

The patient’s name in the document says Imran Ahmed Khan Niazi. In the physical examination section, the circulated report said

“Unstable (hypotension, tachycardia); evidence of recent physical assault (ecchymoses, abrasions).”

The report further had a “Genital exam” section that said

“External perineal ecchymosis and swelling”.

As per the rectal exam section in the report, the patient had decreased anal sphincter tone,

multiple linear fissures, palpable perirectal masses, and perianal erosions with active bleeding.

The report said the “likely causes” of the condition were anal fissures and hemorrhoidal bleeding. Meanwhile, the report claimed other causes of the condition were colorectal polyps, inflammatory bowel disease, and colorectal carcinoma.

A disturbing document has been making rounds on social media, alleging that former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan was sexually assaulted while in custody. The purported medical report, which appears to come from the Pak Emirates Military Hospital (PEMH) in Rawalpindi, has been debunked by Pakistani officials and fact-checkers.

According to verified sources, Khan’s medical evaluation was conducted by doctors from the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) in Islamabad, not PEMH as the viral document claims.

The controversy gained traction after a user on X (formerly Twitter) shared an alleged medical report on May 2, 2025, despite the report itself being dated May 3, 2025. This discrepancy in the timeline raised immediate red flags, suggesting that the document had been falsified.

Inside the Fake Report

The forged report lists “Imran Ahmed Khan Niazi” as the patient and describes injuries consistent with physical and sexual assault, including unstable vitals and genital trauma. It also references conditions like anal fissures and bleeding, hinting at various potential causes including hemorrhoids and colorectal disease.

However, the report lacks verification, and officials have confirmed that no such findings were documented in Khan’s legitimate medical assessment. They also noted that no report was ever sent to the General Headquarters (GHQ) in Rawalpindi, as the viral document claims.
