A substantial Islamabad Police contingent descended on Attock Jail on Tuesday, executing court orders to transfer former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan to Rawalpindi's notorious Adiala Jail.
Insiders informed The Express Tribune that the police had departed from the prison premises, escorting the PTI leader to the infamous Rawalpindi facility, where several former prime ministers have previously served sentences.
They said Khan was dressed in black trousers and a T-shirt, assuring that all his needs, including medical care, will be met in strict adherence to the jail manual upon his placement in Adiala Jail.
Furthermore, they added that the PTI chief will be accorded a superior class in accordance with the privileges befitting a former prime minister.

Khan had been imprisoned in Attock Jail, situated approximately 90 kilometers west of the federal capital, on August 5 following his conviction in the Toshakhana case, citing "security concerns."
However, on August 29, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) suspended the PTI chairman's sentence in the case. Yet, freedom remained elusive for the former premier, as the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) arrested him on the same day in connection with alleged illegal possession and use of a diplomatic cypher.
During this legal saga, lawyers representing the PTI chief petitioned the IHC, requesting Khan's transfer to Adiala Jail. A single-member bench, led by IHC Chief Justice Aamer Farooq, approved the petition.
Authorities at Adiala Jail have reported that Khan's quarter has been meticulously cleaned and prepared, ensuring that facilities align with court directives.
The former premier's room features an adjoining bathroom, and a designated inmate has been assigned to assist him.
