Nawaz Sharif shifted back to jail after treatment

Islamabad: After treatment, former Pakistan prime minister Nawaz Sharif was shifted back to jail again, officials said on Wednesday.

Security officials said Mr Sharif was shifted to Adiala jail from the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences amid tight security.

The police and other law enforcement agencies (LEAs) had beefed up security on the roads leading to Adiala jail to shield the convoy of the former premier.

Mr Sharif was moved to the jail after his two days stay at the PIMS for getting medical treatment. Vehicles carrying Mr Sharif were accompanied by the Rawalpindi police, Elite Force commandos and personnel of other LEAs soon after it entered Rawalpindi from Koral Chowk.
