Police in Rawalpindi took the sisters of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan into custody on Tuesday, ending a 10-hour sit-in outside Adiala jail. The three sisters, Aleema, Dr. Uzma and Noreen, were transferred to Chakri and are expected to return home with their cousin Qasim Zaman.
The sit-in had been staged near the Factory Checkpoint after the PTI founder and his family members, along with party leaders, were denied permission to meet at the Adiala jail on the day of a planned visit.
The police initiated several negotiations with the protesters, but Aleema refused to end the sit-in and insisted that a meeting should be scheduled for the following Tuesday.
The police forcibly detained Imran Khan’s sisters, Aleema Khan, Noreen Niazi and Dr. Uzma Khan, from where they sat peacefully outside the Adiala Jail after once again being denied their weekly visit to their brother.

Around midnight, the authorities first dispersed male party workers involved in the protest. Subsequently, the women’s police unit took the sisters into custody, placed them in a police van and transferred them towards Chakri. After the action, the 10-hour sit-in was called off and the remaining workers dispersed peacefully.
In a statement on social media platform X, PTI claimed that the police forcefully detained Imran Khan’s sisters while they were sitting peacefully outside the Adiala Jail.
The statement also alleged that Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa provincial minister Meena Khan Afridi, MNA Shahid Khattak and other party functionaries and workers, including several women, were subjected to violence and detained.
