- The Supreme Court ordered Imran's transfer to Shifa on August 18, but the government moved him to PIMS on August 20 instead, citing security concerns and prompting opposition accusations of non-compliance.
- A cardiologist recommended the cardiac investigation on August 1 due to cardiac complications; PTI Central Secretary Information Sheikh Waqas Akram alleged PIMS officials falsely claimed necessary equipment was unavailable despite a functional CT scanner present.
- On Saturday, Imran's sister Uzma filed a contempt petition in the Supreme Court through Advocate Uzair Karamat Bhandari, though the government rejected allegations and maintained it had fully complied with the court's medical orders.
- The PTI demands a transparent inquiry into why the recommended procedure was skipped, as Akram alleged the incident underscores 'repeated delays and apparent negligence' in providing Imran with timely medical care.
