According to Bushra Bibi, when they met at Attock Jail, Khan appeared malnourished and had spent the entire night removing insects from his hair. She also criticised the disparate treatment of political prisoners compared to convicted criminals, emphasising that while other inmates were treated like royalty, Khan suffered without even basic facilities.
