Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Vice Chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi has claimed that the PTI chief’s life is in danger and the jail authorities are not even providing meal to him, ARY News reported on Sunday.
In a statement, Shah Mahmood Qureshi criticised that the Inspector General (IG) Islamabad issued the arrest order following the court’s directions.
He added that Lahore police had immediately reached Zaman Park residence to arrest the PTI chief despite the order was issued to the IG Islamabad.
He further said that the court directed to keep the PTI chief at the Adiala Jail but he was shifted to the Attock Jail. He added that there are lack of facilities at the Attock Jail where B Class facilities are not provided.

Qureshi also criticised that the PTI chief was not taken to the Poly Clinic’s medical board for his medical examination which was a mandatory right of each inmate and the responsibility of the jail administration.
He demanded the judiciary to take notice as the PTI chief’s life is in danger.
