Imran expressed horror at the cruel treatment Gill received and committed to do everything in his power to identify the perpetrators and bring them to justice.
He continued, "I now have complete, precise knowledge in this area.
Who tortured Gill is my question, the PTI chief questioned. after claiming that the Islamabad Capital Police (ICT) had stated unequivocally that no one had been tortured.
"The general public and our collective imaginations have theories about who could have carried out the horrible torture. Keep in mind how people would respond.
A video of Gill"s divisive statements went viral on social media last week, leading to his detention at Bani Gala Chowk in Islamabad. He was then arrested on suspicion of stirring up a revolt in the military.
A sessions court in the federal capital earlier today mandated that the PTI leader undergo a second medical checkup at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS), where he will be detained until Monday.

An impartial investigation into the allegations of torture against the PTI leader was also urged by the international human rights organisation.
Amnesty International called for an immediate, effective, and impartial investigation into the allegations of torture made by Shahbaz Gill"s attorneys in a tweet, expressing its worry over them.
The PTI senatorial members also voiced their outrage over the alleged mistreatment of Gill.
