One of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan’s sisters, Uzma Khan, was granted permission on Tuesday to meet the incarcerated former prime minister in Adiala jail, amid heightened security ahead of the party’s planned protest.
According to Geo News, Uzma has been informed that she will be allowed to meet the PTI founder inside the jail premises. Consultations between Uzma and Aleema Khan continued before the visit.
Meanwhile, Aleema arrived at Factory Naka with other sisters, where police had already blocked the road leading to Adiala jail.
Heavy contingents of police, including women personnel, were deployed at the checkpoint, and anti-riot barriers were placed to restrict movement.
Despite the blockade, Aleema and her sisters began walking towards Adiala jail, but were stopped by police at Gorakhpur checkpoint.
