Imran Khan’s Sisters Assaulted by Police Outside Adiala Jail – Hair Pulled, Dragged on Road!
Imran Khan’s sisters Aleema, Noreen & Uzma brutally attacked
Elderly women dragged by hair in darkness
Demand immediate probe into “barbaric” police action
In a deeply disturbing incident that has sparked nationwide outrage, three sisters of jailed former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan were allegedly manhandled, dragged by their hair, and violently assaulted by Punjab police outside Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi last week.
Aleema Khan, Noreen Niazi, and Dr Uzma Khan – all senior citizens – have now filed a formal complaint with Punjab Inspector General of Police Usman Anwar, demanding an impartial investigation into what they call a “brutal and orchestrated assault” on peaceful protesters.
The sisters had been peacefully camping outside the jail with PTI supporters after being denied permission to meet Imran Khan – who has been imprisoned since August 2023 – for over a month.
What Exactly Happened?
According to the complaint and eyewitness accounts:
- The women were sitting quietly, raising no slogans and blocking no roads
- Suddenly, all streetlights in the area were switched off, plunging the scene into complete darkness
- Punjab police personnel launched a sudden and violent attack
- Elderly women were grabbed by their hair, thrown to the ground, and dragged across the road
- Several PTI workers were also beaten and detained

The sisters stated they were only protesting peacefully because jail authorities have imposed an undeclared one-month ban on family meetings with Imran Khan – without any legal justification.
Even KP Chief Minister Denied Entry
The restrictions are so strict that even Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur was refused entry despite making seven consecutive attempts to visit the PTI founder.
Imran Khan has repeatedly claimed that jail authorities are being directly controlled by military officers, turning Adiala into a “no-go zone” for his family and political allies.
PTI’s Strong Reaction
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has condemned the incident as “state terrorism” and proof of growing repression against Imran Khan’s family and supporters.
In their letter to the Punjab IGP, the sisters demanded:
- Immediate registration of FIR against all involved police officers
- Independent judicial inquiry into the assault
- Action against those who ordered the streetlights to be switched off
- End to the illegal ban on family meetings
Growing Concern Over Imran Khan’s Safety
The assault on his sisters has intensified fears about Imran Khan’s own well-being inside Adiala Jail. His family says they have been kept in the dark about his health and treatment for weeks.
Supporters point out the pattern:
- No family meetings allowed
- Political leaders barred from visiting
- Peaceful protests met with violence
Public Outrage & Calls for Justice
Social media has erupted with anger under hashtags like #JusticeForImranSisters and #ReleaseImranKhan. Many are calling the treatment of elderly women “shameful” and “un-Islamic.”
Human rights groups and opposition leaders have joined the demand for a transparent investigation.
A Family Under Siege
Imran Khan’s sisters have been among his most vocal defenders since his arrest in 2023 on multiple charges widely seen as politically motivated. Their peaceful protest was meant to highlight the denial of basic prison visitation rights – not to create chaos.
Instead, they became victims of what they describe as “state-sponsored brutality.”
What Happens Next?
As pressure mounts on Punjab police to act on the complaint, the incident has once again put Pakistan’s civil-military tensions under the global spotlight.
Will there be accountability? Or will the assault on Imran Khan’s elderly sisters be swept under the rug?
One thing is clear: the fight for Imran Khan’s rights – and now his family’s dignity – continues both inside and outside Adiala Jail.
The nation watches. The world is watching.
