Imran Khan used to swing ball by using sandpaper, claims Talat Hussain

In a bizarre claim, senior journalist Talat Hussain has said the former prime minister and PTI founder used to swing the ball using sandpaper (raigmall). 

In a podcast, Talat Hussain said Imran Khan's work, children and house bills were paid by others. 

Talat said Imran Khan was a good bowler, but he used to swing the ball with "raigmall". 

The journalist is a strong critic of the former prime minister and he never misses a chance to lash out at him.

A court jailed Imran Khan and his wife for seven years after voiding their marriage, in the latest sentence against the ex-prime minister.

The court ruled that Khan's 2018 marriage with Bushra Bibi, a faith healer, was un-Islamic and illegal.

He is already in jail for corruption.

Khan, 71, has said the numerous cases against him are politically motivated.

Pakistan's former cricket captain-turned-politician was ousted as prime minister in 2022.

A court was set up inside the Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi, where Khan is serving his previous sentences, for the latest case.

The complaint was filed by Bibi's ex-husband, who said her marriage with Khan had been fraudulent.
