Indian sports journalist Vikrant Gupta has expressed concern over the reported health condition of former Pakistan Prime Minister and World Cup-winning captain Imran Khan.
In a recent social media post, Gupta described it as deeply tragic that the man once celebrated for his sharp vision on the cricket field is now reportedly struggling with serious eyesight issues while in jail.
Imran Khan, who led Pakistan to victory in the 1992 Cricket World Cup, remains one of the country’s most iconic sports figures. Gupta’s remarks referenced reports claiming that Khan’s eyesight has allegedly reduced to around 15 percent during his incarceration. However, there has been no official medical report publicly released to independently confirm the extent of the condition.
The statement has sparked debate across social and political circles in both Pakistan and India. Supporters of Khan have voiced concern over his health and called for transparency regarding his medical treatment.
Critics, meanwhile, have urged caution, noting that health claims in politically sensitive cases should be verified through credible sources.
Imran Khan has been in custody following multiple legal cases after his removal from office in 2022. His detention has drawn both domestic and international attention.
Gupta’s comments highlight how Khan’s legacy as a cricket leader continues to resonate beyond borders, even as his current legal and health situation remains the subject of ongoing discussion and scrutiny.
