      <title>‘Security reasons’: Imran Khan unable to attend Eid ul-Fitr prayers in Adiala Jail</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330409509/security-reasons-imran-khan-unable-to-attend-eid-ul-fitr-prayers-in-adiala-jail</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Imran Khan, has been unable to participate in Eid ul-Fitr prayers due to security concerns.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Khan’s wife, Bushra Bibi, also remained in her cell.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On this occasion, prisoners, detainees, and jail officials gathered in the jail’s main mosque to offer the Eid prayer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Khan has marked his third consecutive Eid ul-Fitr in Adiala Jail.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sources told &lt;em&gt;Aaj News&lt;/em&gt; that Imran Khan was unable to attend the Eid prayers due to security reasons, without specifying.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A special duty plan has been implemented around Adiala Jail for three days, according to sources.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Authorities have set up eight additional checkpoints and barriers on the routes leading to the facility, deploying approximately 200 officers and personnel for heightened security.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Police operations will continue in three shifts, with Superintendent of Police (SP) Saddar, Muhammad Nabeel Khokha appointed as the direct supervisor of the security measures.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Authorities are also preparing for potential protests outside the jail, ensuring that deployed police will have support from a reserve force and are equipped with anti-riot gear.&lt;/p&gt;
