Qureshi moved to hospital after chest pain

PTI senior leader Shah Mahmood Qureshi was transferred from Kot Lakhpat Jail to Punjab Institute of Cardiology (PIC) on Saturday after suffering chest pain, officials said.

The PTI leader was moved to the Punjab Institute of Cardiology (PIC) shortly after dawn.

Qureshi, who has been in custody since August 2023, experienced discomfort following Fajr prayers.

Prison doctors conducted an initial assessment, but his condition did not improve, prompting a transfer via Rescue 1122, according to his lawyer, Rana Mudassar.
