Health Minister Abdul Qadir Patel Friday said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan’s medical report declared him as an alcoholic and drug abuser, adding that it also ruled out a fracture on his leg.
Patel was informing media persons in Karachi about the former prime minister’s medical report after he underwent an examination at PIMS hospital following his arrest on May 9.
At the outset of the press conference, the health minister said that the report will be shown to the public as it was a “public document”.
He said that the report does not have any details about the fracture on his foot, which Khan claimed he sustained following the November 3 assassination bid.
“He [Imran Khan] had a plaster on his foot for about five to six months, however, the medical report did not indicate any fracture,” he added.
The minister said that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief’s urine sample was also taken. He said that the initial report shows the presence of toxic elements and the excessive usage of alcohol and cocaine.
This is a developing story and is being updated with more details.
