Personal Life
Fetal Homicide
By April 2017, Imran had been dating his then-girlfriend, Brook Fiske, for three years.
When Fiske informed him that she was pregnant, Imran at first convinced her to get an abortion, which Fiske refused. When she was 17 weeks pregnant, Fiske visited Imran at his home in Arlington, Virginia, and during the visit Imran served her tea that had been spiked with 800 milligrams of the abortifacient Misoprostol. Fiske went into labor that day and miscarried. After doctors found Misoprostol in her system, Imran was arrested and taken into custody. Imran pleaded guilty to fetal homicide ten months later.
