Two Women Arrested After Egg Thrown at Imran Khan’s Sister Outside Adiala Jail

The episode renewed calls for security for Khan’s family ahead of the Toshakhana trial’s September 8 hearing.

Overview

  • The egg-throwing occurred during a press interaction outside Adiala Jail following a Toshakhana case hearing earlier in the day.
  • Police said the two suspects taken into custody were reportedly supporters of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf.
  • Journalists had pressed Aleema Khanum about allegations raised online by reporter Tayyab Baloch regarding property and donation funds, and the exchange had grown tense.
  • Aleema denied issuing any threats and left the scene shortly after the incident, which was captured on video and shared widely online.
  • Barrister Gohar Khan condemned the attack and urged authorities to ensure the family’s security, as the case against Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi stands adjourned until September 8 with witness testimony already recorded.
