Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi told reporters that the jail will include all essential medical facilities for inmates. He emphasized that transferring Khan aligns with the court’s decision and logistical needs. Officials also confirmed that the jail’s infrastructure meets modern security and healthcare standards.
