Imran taken back to jail after brief visit to Islamabad's Shifa International Hospital amid tight security

Imran Khan, the founder of PTI, was taken back to Adiala jail after a brief visit to Shifa International Hospital in Islamabad on Friday morning. This visit was in compliance with the Supreme Court's orders issued earlier this week. He entered the hospital through Gate No. 1, after traveling via Pitras Bokhari Road. The hospital is situated in Sector H-8, an area known for its educational institutions and government offices.

The visit came amid tight security arrangements, with security pickets set up and around 800 personnel deployed in and around the hospital premises. The security measures were a response to a Supreme Court directive for Imran's transfer to the hospital within two days, following several petitions seeking his hospitalization and family meetings.
