India’s intelligence agencies have placed security forces on very high alert as Pakistan faces escalating unrest triggered by rumours of former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s death. The situation, already fragile due to Pakistan’s political and economic collapse, has intensified further after widespread claims on social media that Khan has died inside Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail.
Massive Crowd Gathers Outside Adiala Jail Amid Rumours
According to intelligence inputs, thousands of Khan’s supporters and PTI workers have gathered outside the jail, demanding proof that their leader is safe. The Pakistan Army has denied all rumours of Khan’s death and has not permitted any meeting or public appearance, fuelling suspicion among citizens.
Officials from India’s Intelligence Bureau (IB) revealed that whispers about Khan’s deteriorating condition—and even death—have been circulating for the past three days, leading to mounting tension.
Potential for Large-Scale Violence in Pakistan
IB officials warn that if the Pakistani military fails to show clear evidence of Imran Khan’s well-being, widespread riots and violence are almost inevitable. Public anger against the army and ISI, particularly against Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir, has already reached a boiling point.
Reports suggest that the Pakistani public believes the army orchestrated a “civilian coup” by removing Imran Khan and installing Shehbaz Sharif as a puppet prime minister. This perception has pushed people to the streets, demanding justice and transparency.
Possible ISI Plot to Divert Attention: Major Terror Attack Suspected
Security agencies in India fear that Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) may attempt to divert domestic attention from the Imran Khan crisis by launching a major terror attack on Indian soil. Sources indicate that ISI may be planning a big operation—not a small strike, but an attack on the scale of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks or Pulwama.
Indian authorities have been directed to increase vigilance in border states, high-value targets, metro cities, and defence installations.
Could Pakistan Face Civil War?
If the rumours of Imran Khan’s death turn out to be true, experts believe Pakistan could slip into civil-war-like conditions. The public’s trust in the army is at its lowest in decades, and mass protests could spiral into uncontrollable chaos.
For now, the world watches tensely as Pakistan’s political crisis deepens and regional security risks rise sharply.
