KARACHI:
The accountability court has ordered chairman medical board to submit report in three days about the illness of Inam Akbar who is the main accused in the reference involving corruption of Rs5.76 billion in the Sindh information department.

Akbar was admitted to hospital without permission. The Supreme Court has placed a ban on shifting of accused of corruption from jail to hospital. Medical report was presented in the accountability court which the court rejected and ordered the chairman medical board to submit fresh report.

Earlier, the accountability court expressed disapproval over the shifting of the main accused without the approval of the court and had sought report from the jail authorities.


The accused was enjoying the comfort of the VVIP rooms of the Jinnah Hospital. A report was presented in the court on April 21 on which court expressed anger and asked about the approval through which he was shifted to the hospital. Expressing dissatisfaction the court has summoned JPMC Director with detailed report.

JPMC Executive Director Dr Seemi Jamali said that Inam Akbar is shifted to the hospital on court orders. He is under the medical care of Dr Rasheed Durrani. She said that there were 30 prisoners who were in the hospital on the court orders.
