He also doesn't like eating cooked vegetables.
According to the news report, around Rs0.2 million have been spent on his medical care, out of which around Rs0.1 million was spent on antibiotics.
Sources told Roznama Express that Sikandar’s medical expenditure has been currently deducted from the hospital’s budget.
PIMS spokesperson Dr Waseem Khawaja said Sikandar recently had his eyes tested and that the wounds inside his stomach and on the body are healing.
On August 15, accompanied by his wife and children Sikandar brought Islamabad to a standstill by waving two semi-automatic guns and occasionally firing into the air. Despite being surrounded by police personnel, Rangers and Anti-Terrorism Squad, Sikandar continued the hold-up for over five hours, at the end of which both him and his wife were arrested.

Why did the security forces shoot at him when he had raised his hands to surrender?
what a encouraging message to thugs like him. One bullet in his head could save millions. Medical treatment wasted on him could be used for a deserving citizen instead.
Nothing tastes better than free meals.
He has shown a great way to a good life. Hopefully more would follow him.
Sikandar does not own a bicycle let alone a toyota. It was hired.
@Tahir If you want proper news or actual journalism why are you here? go to dawn or some other channel, ET is known for its biased and non-sensual reporting, its just for fun :)
Do all the prisoners in regular jails get to pick what they want to eat or not? Does the jail superintendent ask prisoners for their food preferences? If not, why is this criminal getting this preferential treatment and being asked if he likes meat, vegetables, or juice? He should be treated just like any accused/convict/criminal and given daal, chawal, roti, sabzi, and paani. He gave up most of his rights and choices when he took over Islamabad recklessly and criminally. I have no sympathy or regard for such people.
Is this one of the preconditions for the peace talks with the Talibans?
He's better off in the hospital compared to a wider population in pakistan
Jhoot..
Mr. Sikandar's Toyota Corolla and assets should be confiscated to recover the medical and security expenses.
The article does not discuss his motive. Why did he behave like this? Details please.
Please take good care of him, Porridge is often good in this condition. Also, include pomegranate juice in his breakfast menu.
Why don't we shift him to Raiwind. I have heard the residents over there are also very fond of fresh juices and meat!
