Captain (retd) Muhammad Safdar, son-in-law of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, has been shifted to Adiala Jail from Islamabad’s Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) on Tuesday. Safdar was hospitalized after health deteriorated earlier in the month. Last week, a medical board at PIMS advised Safdar to remain in the hospital so they could perform an ECG to determine the condition of his cardiac stent. A liver test was also conducted since Safdar is apparently suffering from diabetes and a liver ailment. He was sentenced to a year in prison by an accountability court on July 6 in the Avenfield properties case. Published in Daily Times, August 15th 2018.
