Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan was returned to Adiala Jail hours after being transferred to a hospital under a Supreme Court order for medical evaluation.
Hundreds of police, some wielding sticks, were deployed near Shifa International Hospital in the capital Islamabad, with roads leading to the clinic cordoned off.
Justice Shahid Waheed said 73-year-old Khan, who has been in jail since 2023 on corruption charges, will be shifted in the next two days to Shifa International Hospital in the capital, Islamabad.
Aleema Khan, sister of the deposed prime minister, said the movement for her brother's release has already begun, and its next phase will be announced soon.
