Meanwhile, Defence Minister Khawaja Asif claimed that Imran had access to a TV, exercise machines, and food from outside while in jail, contrasting it with his own experience of harsh conditions. Asif also alleged that Imran had a double bed and velvet bedding, asserting that the jail superintendent personally tended to him.
