KARACHI – Health Minister Abdul Qadir Patel said on Friday that traces of alcohol and cocaine consumption were found in the body of PTI Chairman Imran Khan, citing details of the former prime minister’s medical report prepared by PIMS Hospital.
Patel told a press conference that the PTI chief underwent medical examination at PIMS Hospital after his arrest on May 9 in the Al Qadir Trust case.
The minister said the report lacked details about a broken leg that Khan claimed to have sustained during an assassination attempt on his life in November 2022. Imran Khan said he had a plaster on his leg for about five to six months. However, the medical report showed that he had no broken bones.
He said the PTI chief’s urine sample was also taken, adding that initial reports indicated excessive use of alcohol and cocaine.
Patel said the report also raised questions about the PTI chairman’s mental health.
A copy of the report, which was circulated on social media, said: “The man was examined and appears to be under stress and exhibiting symptoms of anxiety.” There has been widespread anger and anxiety over the events of the past few weeks. He had little insight into the seriousness and reality of the current situation. Mental stability is questionable. There were also inappropriate gestures. ”
