Strict security prevents Imran Khan from offering Eid prayers inside Adiala Jail

Despite Eid prayers being held at the prison’s central mosque, security concerns led authorities to restrict Khan’s movement, keeping him from participating.

His wife, Bushra Bibi, who is also imprisoned, remained in her cell during the prayers.

To ensure security, a special three-day plan was implemented, deploying 200 officers at eight additional checkpoints around the jail.

SP Saddar Nabeel Khokhar is supervising the three-shift security operation, with an anti-riot reserve force on standby to counter potential PTI-led protests.

Khan, who has been incarcerated since August 2023, faces over 100 cases, including allegations of leaking state secrets and selling state gifts. His legal battles continue to dominate political discourse in Pakistan.

Ahead of Eid, four new outfits, a pair of shoes, and a waistcoat were sent to Adiala Jail for Khan.

However, no special arrangements were reported for the former prime minister during the celebrations.
