(MENAFN- Live Mint) Rawalpindi Adiala Jail authorities allowed Imran Khan's sister, Uzma Khanum, to visit the former Prime Minister of Pakistan amid death rumours and family asking for proof of his well-being, according to a report by The Dawn.

Uzma Khanum was taken into the prison to meet Khan, while dozens of PTI supporters who had come with her waited outside the facility.

Since October 27, nobody was allowed to meet Imran Khan or his wife, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi told the news portal.

Imran Khan's family and PTI leaders have been trying to meet him for over three weeks, but their requests have reportedly been ignored. This has led to increasing speculation that the former cricketer and politician might have passed away.

Meanwhile, Uzma's meeting took place while the PTI organised protests outside the Islamabad High Court and Adiala Jail, flagging restrictions on Imran Khan's visitation rights. The party asserted that his family members and senior leaders had been prevented from visiting him.

Ahead of PTI's protests, Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code was enforced in Islamabad and Rawalpindi. This legal provision allows district authorities to ban gatherings of four or more individuals within a specific area for a limited time.

Minister of State for Interior Tallal Chaudhry stated that compliance with Section 144 would be enforced in Islamabad and Rawalpindi.

“Whether they come to the Islamabad High Court (IHC) or the Adiala jail, action under Section 144 would be carried out without any discrimination,” Chaudhry was quoted in the report. He specifically asked PTI parliamentarians to“abide by the law”.
