Imran Khan examined at PIMS overnight, returned to Adiala Jail
Jail officials say he left Adiala at 1:40am and was back at 3:25am, and the special medical team's report on his health is expected today.
Former prime minister Imran Khan was taken from Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi to the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) in Islamabad for a medical examination overnight between Tuesday and Wednesday, the second assessment of his health in four days, and was back in the jail by 3:25am, jail officials said.
Khan, who is held in Adiala Jail, was moved under heavy security. A PIMS official told BBC Urdu that a special medical team already present at the hospital carried out the examination, checking his blood pressure and fever and examining his eyes, along with other necessary tests. He was given medical assistance there and kept for about 90 minutes before being driven back, the official said.
According to the jail authorities, he left Adiala at 1:40am and returned at 3:25am.
The special medical team formed to examine Khan may issue a report on his health on Wednesday, jail officials said. No findings from the tests have been made public.
Khan was also examined inside the jail on 8 November.
The overnight trip followed an account of his condition that his lawyer gave to a court. During the hearing of appeals in the 190 million pound reference, Salman Safdar told the court that his client's blood pressure was not coming under control, and said Khan had told him during a meeting in jail that the condition carried a risk of brain haemorrhage.
The Islamabad High Court has directed Adiala jail authorities to arrange a one-hour meeting on Wednesday between Safdar and Sardar Latif Khosa and Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi.
