ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Thursday filed a fresh petition in Islamabad High Court (IHC) against the alleged torture on PTI leader Shahbaz Gill in the jail.
The petition was submitted by PTI leaders Asad Umar and Babar Awan that pleaded for the formation of a medical board to conduct the medical examination of the PTI leader Gill by neutral doctors. While talking to media, Asad said that due the breathing issue, Shahbaz Gill was all night admitted to Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) hospital, Islamabad. He said that as per the law, no one could be tortured like this.
As per sources privy to the matter, a medical board will once again conduct a medical examination of the PTI leader. New tests will likely be conducted too. Gill’s current situation was stable and he was not diagnosed with a heart problem. Last night his ECG was not normal as anxiety can also trigger heart palpitations.
The PTI leader on Wednesday night was shifted to PIMS under high alert security while a medical team had been formed comprising heart, lung specialists doctors and medical officers. Earlier, Gill had been handed over to Islamabad Police from Adiala Jail Rawalpindi authorities.
