Imran Khan turned into a meme and joke on social media today. In the age of surgical memes and ballistic banter, Indian keyboard warriors launched their first psychological strike post-Pahalgam. And the first โcasualtyโ? None other than jailbird and ex-Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan. No, it wasnโt a drone. It wasnโt a dossier. It was a viral medical โreportโ alleging Khan was sexually assaulted in jail. The document? Fake. The laughs? Real. The damage? Hilariously political.
Imran Khan News that Shook Rawalpindi
It all started when a suspiciously detailed โmedical reportโ from an alleged Pak Emirates Military Hospital in Rawalpindi began circulating on X. It claimed that Khan had suffered trauma that sounded less like a jail injury and more like sexual torture.
Anal fissures, internal bleeding, unstable vitals โ the kind of diagnosis youโd expect from a shady Dr. Google, not an official hospital.
To make it even juicier, some news channels even ascribed the dirty deed to a Pakistn Army Major. The fact is that the โreportโ was dated 3rd May, 2025. However, it was published in the pre-dawn hours of 3rd May in India. Since Pakistan is behind India by a 30 minutes, the signed-sealed-delivered social media report must have originated on 2nd May 2025. So, how did Indian social media get their hands on such a document so quickly. Khufia Sources? Nope. Just Photoshop with an agenda.
Pakistan Tries to Save Face and Posterior
Pakistani officials and fact-checkers jumped in quicker than their army jumps into civilian affairs. They clarified that Imran Khanโs actual check-up was at PIMS, Islamabad. Moreover, there was absolutely no such trauma recorded.
Thus, it seems that Imran Khanโs rape news was a cleverly crafted hoax.
Even Pakistanโs General Headquarters (GHQ), which rarely comments on viral gossip, had to step in to state that no such report was ever sent. Which, by GHQ standards, is basically a giant press conference.
Info-Warfare: Indiaโs Laugh Heard Across Borders
While the document was fake, the impact was real. Indian social media lapped it up and memes exploded. Screenshots flew faster than Pakistani drones over Punjab. For a country constantly accused of being a โfailed state,โ Pakistan now had to clarify that their former PM hadnโt been โfailedโ in that way.
The real kicker? This prank hit Pakistan where it hurts most โ its macho image.
For a country constantly trying to encourage its troops, being laughed at for fake medical trauma isnโt exactly morale-boosting.
Imran Khan wasnโt harmed, at least not the way the fake medical report or doctored Dawn article claimed! But his jail cell wasnโt exactly spared โ by the internet warriors. In a region where disinformation is warfare, this wasnโt just a joke. It was a reminder that in the post-Pahalgam era, India doesnโt always need tanks to rattle Pakistan. Sometimes, all it needs is a meme, a fake PDF, and a billion people with WiFi and sarcasm. Consequently, the Pakistani Cricket Teamโs Captain and Former PMโs famous quote seems apt today:
AAPNE GHABRANA NAHI HAI!!!
