PESHAWAR: Tehrik-i-Nifaaz-i-Shariat-i-Muhammadi (TNSM) Chief Sufi Muhammad was taken to Lady Reading Hospital in Peshawar from the city’s Central Jail under strict security after his health took a turn for the worse on Wednesday.
The TNSM chief, suffering from joint aches and urinary infection, was taken to the hospital in handcuffs and could not walk properly on account of the aches.
Police personnel escorted Muhammad to the doctor’s office who after a check-up recommended taking certain medications for a period of one month.
The doctor advised that Muhammad undergo physiotherapy which may help in alleviating the aches. He was further advised to go for another checkup after a month’s time.
Muhammad resides in Peshawar’s Central Jail with 19 cases active against the TNSM chief. Thirteen of these cases are being heard in a special anti-terrorist court.
