PTI Leader Shah Mehmood Qureshi Shifted Back to Kot Lakhpat Jail from PIC

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Shah Mehmood Qureshi has been transferred from the Punjab Institute of Cardiology (PIC) back to Kot Lakhpat Jail. His lawyer, Rana Mudassar, confirmed that Qureshi was discharged from the hospital but noted that his medical treatment remains incomplete.

The PTI leader had been admitted to the PIC for eight days due to heart-related health issues. Despite medical care, authorities decided to shift him back to jail in the presence of a heavy police contingent.

The move has raised concerns regarding the continuation of Qureshi’s treatment and his health conditions while in custody. Supporters and political observers are closely monitoring the situation amid ongoing political tensions.
