Pakistan’s new Islamabad Model Jail has been completed, and authorities are preparing to transfer prisoners to the facility after its formal inauguration. PTI founder and former prime minister Imran Khan is also among those reportedly expected to be shifted under the proposed arrangements.
Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi announced the completion of the new jail on October 27, 2026. According to reports, the transfer of prisoners whose cases are being heard by Islamabad courts is expected to take place after the facility is formally inaugurated.
However, authorities have not confirmed a specific date for the transfers. Imran Khan’s individual transfer date has also not been announced.
Islamabad Model Jail Completed
The completion of the new prison marks a development in the federal capital’s prison arrangements. The facility is intended to accommodate prisoners whose cases fall within the jurisdiction of Islamabad’s courts.
According to the reported announcement, the next step is the formal inauguration of the jail. Prisoner transfers are expected to follow once the necessary arrangements are completed.
The authorities have not yet provided a detailed schedule explaining when the transfers will begin or how many inmates will be moved in the initial phase.
Will Imran Khan Be Shifted to the New Jail?
Imran Khan has been mentioned in reports about the expected transfer of prisoners to the new Islamabad facility. A report published before the completion announcement said he was among the inmates expected to be moved, citing jail sources.
However, this should not be treated as confirmation that Khan has already been transferred or that a final date has been set for his move.
The reported plan concerns prisoners linked to cases being heard by Islamabad courts. The authorities responsible for the transfers will determine the final arrangements.
When Will Prisoner Transfers Begin?
The transfers are expected after the new jail’s formal inauguration, according to the available reporting. No confirmed inauguration date or final transfer schedule has been announced in the information currently available.
The process may depend on administrative preparations and arrangements for moving inmates safely to the new facility.
For Imran Khan and other prisoners, any confirmed transfer details will depend on official announcements from the relevant authorities.
What Happens Next?
The immediate next step is the formal inauguration of the Islamabad Model Jail, followed by the planned transfer process. Further details about the schedule and the prisoners included in each phase are expected from the authorities.
For now, the jail’s completion has been announced, while the transfer of Imran Khan remains a reported possibility rather than a confirmed completed move. Readers should follow official announcements for updates on the inauguration and any subsequent transfers.
