Former Prime Minister and PTI founder Imran Khan has filed an application demanding the registration of an FIR against Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, police, and jail officials, accusing them of denying him legally entitled jail facilities.
🔹 Key Allegations by Khan
He claims that despite court orders, he is being deprived of:
Access to legal counsel
Medical checkups
A class-B cell and other facilities provided under prison laws to former PMs
Khan alleges this denial is a deliberate act of political victimisation.
He holds the Punjab CM and senior police/jail authorities responsible for violation of his rights.
🔹 Legal Move
Khan’s petition requests that an FIR be registered against those obstructing his rights.
His lawyers argue that contempt of court is also applicable since prison rules and prior directives are being ignored.
🔹 Why It Matters
This move escalates the tensions between PTI and Punjab’s PML-N government.
If admitted, it could set a legal precedent for accountability of government officials in jail administration.
It also adds pressure on the Punjab government, which insists Khan is receiving facilities per law.
