Six Adiala Jail officials penalised

Six more Adiala central jail officials were removed from their posts after they were accused of illegally facilitating three PTI leaders, including party founder Imran Khan, sources revealed on Friday.

Former Deputy Superintendent Jail Muhammad Akram had strategically placed his close staff members at key points to facilitate Imran Khan, Shah Mahmood Qureshi and Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi.

Sources told The Express Tribune that former DS Muhammad Akram had appointed his orderly Zaheer along with Chaudhry Parvez Elahi and Shah Mahmood Qureshi. Second Warder Jameel was assigned to the night shift with Qureshi, Warder Yasir Riaz was put in charge of the PB account, Sajjad Siddiqui was assigned to search duties, while Shabbir Faraz was appointed to oversee baggage search and VIP movement. Head Warder Zafaran was given a special appointment outside the jail.
