Former Pakistani Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry claims death rumors about jailed Imran Khan are Taliban's "tit-for-tat" response to earlier Pakistani media reports alleging Afghan Taliban chief Mullah Haibatullah's assassination. Afghan social media handles, including Afghan Times, alleged Khan was murdered in Rawalpindi's Adiala Jail by army chief Asim Munir. Chaudhry insists Khan remains "hale and hearty," with jail authorities confirming he's eating meals and exercising regularly. The controversy intensifies as Pakistani authorities haven't allowed Khan's sisters to meet him for three months despite court orders, sparking PTI worker sit-ins demanding "proof of life." Chaudhry blames the Shehbaz Sharif government's ban on meetings and photo releases on their fear of Khan's overwhelming political popularity.
