In a post on X, the chairman, denying the rumours, said, “After confirming with all relevant people, I am refuting on social media those reports circulating over the past few days that Khan Sahib has been under treatment in the jail hospital due to high blood pressure or any other illness—I have also informed the family.”
He also urged people not to circulate any news about the health of Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, without confirmation.

In April, his wife also complained of impaired vision in her right eye. Prison authorities immediately arranged an examination by ophthalmologists, after which she underwent surgery.
