The former prime minister had said he has been put in a 'death cell' and solitary confinement.
A fresh political slugfest has begun in Pakistan after the government released photographs of the cell provided to the country's former prime minister Imran Khan in Adiala jail to refute the leader's claim that he has been put in a 'death cell' and solitary confinement while serving the ongoing sentence.
The federal government submitted pictures of the facilities provided to Imran Khan in the Rawalpindi jail during a hearing of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Amendment. They showed that Mr Khan's room has a cooler, an LED television, a bed and a study table. Several other photographs of Mr Khan's dedicated kitchen, a corridor to walk and two exercise machines were also submitted.
During earlier court proceedings, which he attended via video link, the former PM had stated that he had been put in solitary confinement. In a written interview with journalist Mehdi Hasan, Khan also stated that he was put in a death cell.
