Pakistan's former Prime Minister, Imran Khan, has been declared medically fit by a team of doctors and returned to jail, following a hospital examination that took place overnight, said the country's information minister.

Khan's re-incarceration, despite expectations of prolonged hospital care, has ignited concerns among his supporters, potentially escalating tensions and protests.
