He further stated that Khan said his biceps are getting a little out of shape due to the non-availability of dumbbells.

He explained that he had requested many times for the provision of the same but was denied for no apparent reason.

Due to security issues, Khan can’t go to Gym like other poisoners.

He further stated, “All I have asked for is pair of heavy dumbles from my own expense which has been denied. In nutshell, jail has made Khan sab more determined and strong. All machinations of Govt to Pester him are counter productive and making him stronger.”

The Cases

The former prime minister is currently being held in Adiala Jail after his arrest from his Zaman Park residence in Lahore on August 5.

He was moved to the prison on September 26 from Attock Jail where he was initially kept after his arrest.

Khan was first convicted by a lower court in the Toshakhana case in August and sentenced to three years of imprisonment. The IHC suspended his sentence the same month.

The Islamabad accountability court issued arrest warrants for PTI Chairman Imran Khan in the Toshakhana and 190 million Al-Qadir Trust cases.

Khan was arrested in the Al-Qadir Trust case on May 9 for the first time.

The 190 million (approximately Rs60 billion) settlement case pertains to the money of property tycoon, Malik Riaz, being laundered and caught by the UK authorities during Imran’s government in 2019.

The UK government had informed the Pakistani authorities regarding the money being caught.

The former premier is already in prison as he was subsequently booked in the ‘cipher’ case.

In the cipher case, Khan, along with his close aide and former foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi, has been accused of leaking state secrets.
