Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan’s sister, Noreen Niazi, met him at Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi, prison sources said.
According to jail sources, the meeting lasted around 40 minutes and took place in the prison’s conference room. Niazi discussed various matters with Khan during the meeting.
She left the jail after the meeting but did not speak to media representatives waiting outside. Sources said the meeting was Niazi’s second with Khan in the past two weeks. No further details about their conversation were immediately available.
The meeting comes days after Khan was transferred from Adiala Jail to the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) in Islamabad for a medical examination.
The former prime minister was moved to PIMS late on August 20 following a Supreme Court order regarding his medical examination. The court had directed the government to arrange his examination at Shifa International Hospital.
The government, however, said it took Khan to PIMS because a large number of PTI workers were present along the route to Shifa International, raising security concerns.
Khan’s sister Uzma Khan later filed a contempt petition in the Supreme Court against the government over the hospital transfer. The court returned the petition on Tuesday after raising an objection.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar, Information Minister Atta Tarar and others were named as respondents in the petition.
