ISLAMABAD: Following the arrest of former prime minister and Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan by Rangers outside the Islamabad High Court, a medical board led by Dr. Fareed Ullah Shah has arrived at the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Rawalpindi office, to conduct a medical checkup on the detained PTI Chairman.
The medical board, comprising seven members from Poly Clinic Hospital in Islamabad, was formed to examine Imran Khan’s health condition during his period of custody. Led by Dr. Fareed Ullah Shah, the board consists of specialized experts in various medical disciplines.
Imran Khan, who had appeared at the Islamabad High Court seeking bail against multiple First Information Reports (FIRs) filed against him, was swiftly taken into custody by the Rangers. Initial reports indicate that he was transported in an armoured vehicle.
Confirming the arrest, PTI lawyer Faisal Chaudhry acknowledged that Imran Khan had been detained and was in the custody of the NAB authorities.
