Lahore:

PTI senior leader Shah Mahmood Qureshi was transferred from Kot Lakhpat Prison to the Punjab Institute of Cardiology (PIC) Saturday after a little pain in the chest, officials said.

The PTI leader was moved to the Punjab Institute of Cardiology (PIC) shortly after dawn.

Qureshi, who has been in custody since August 2023, experienced discomfort after Fajr beans.

Prison doctors conducted an initial assessment, but his condition did not improve, which led to a transfer via rescue 1122, according to his lawyer, Rana Mudassar.
