Imran Khan hospitalized and returned to jail after court-ordered medical examination
Jailed former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan was taken to a hospital for treatment. This move followed orders from Pakistan's Supreme Court, which directed the government to transfer Khan to Shifa International Hospital for examination.
Khan was subsequently moved back to Adiala Jail from Shifa International Hospital in Islamabad. Reports indicate he was deemed "medically fit" following the check-up.
The development occurred after a three-member bench, headed by Justice Shahid Waheed, issued the directive for his hospital transfer.
Why it scored 3/10: While involving a prominent international political figure, the event is a routine medical transfer with no direct or significant impact on Sri Lankan national affairs, making it minor international news.
