Nawaz Sharif being shifted to Kot Lakhpat jail from Adiala

Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif is being shifted to Lahore’s Kot Lakhpat prison from Adiala jail, Rawalpindi, a day after he was sentenced to seven years in Al-Azizia Steel Mills corruption case.

Nawaz was taken to Adiala prison amid stringent security on Monday, where he spent the night. He was brought to Lahore earlier today to be shifted to Kot Lakhpat prison, in custody of the National Accountability Bureau via a special charter flight from Nur Khan airbase.

A large number of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) workers gathered outside Adiala Jail to greet their leader, who happens to be celebrating his 69th birthday today.

The party members also cut a cake in front of the prison.

Home Secretary of Punjab Captain (retd) Fazeel Asghar said a B-class room has been readied for Nawaz at Kot Lakhpat Jail, complete with a TV set, bed, blanket, heater, chair and table.

The former premier has been provided with a helper and will also be allowed food from home.
