Massive protests erupted across Pakistan today as supporters of jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan took to the streets. The demonstrations were sparked by unverified rumors circulating about Khan’s alleged assassination within Adiala Jail. In response, the Pakistani government has placed security agencies on high alert and imposed a shoot-at-sight order in a bid to quell the growing unrest. Security around Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi has been significantly heightened, with all access roads sealed and Section 144 enforced, restricting public gatherings. PTI leaders and family members are being denied access to the former premier, fueling further speculation and anger. Protests are concentrated outside the Islamabad High Court and Adiala Jail, reflecting the deep political divisions and public anxiety surrounding Khan’s fate. Social media is abuzz with unconfirmed reports, intensifying the tense atmosphere.
