ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan has expressed his deep concern over the appearance of a snake in Opposition Leader in Sindh Assembly Haleem Adil Shaikh’s prison cell.
During a meeting with Governor Sindh Imran Ismail, the prime minister asked how a snake was recovered from the prison cell of the opposition leader. Imran Ismail also apprised Prime Minister Imran regarding the registration of a terrorism case against Haleem Adil Shaikh.
Imran Ismail said that the IGP Sindh was acting in a biased manner against the imprisoned PTI leader and was working at the behest of the Sindh government.
Meanwhile, the provincial lawmakers of the PTI also met DIG operations Imran Yaqoob and expressed their concern over the presence of a snake inside Haleem Adil Shaikh’s cell.
They blamed that Haleem Adil Shaikh was being politically victimized.
They demanded of the DIG to launch a probe into the matter and take action against those found guilty of negligence.
It is pertinent to mention here Haleem Adil Sheikh on Friday claimed that a snake was found in the lock-up where he was detained after his arrest over violence during by-elections in Karachi earlier this week.
Talking to media at an anti-terrorism court (ATC), the PTI leader alleged that the four-foot-long black cobra’ was deliberately left in his cell under a conspiracy to kill him on the directives of PPP chairperson Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari and Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah.
Sheikh, who was remanded in judicial custody by the ATC today, was detained on Tuesday in a case related to violence, firing, attempted murder and causing terror during the by-polls in the PS-88 constituency of Malir.
Earlier today (Friday), an anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Karachi sent Haleem Adil Shaikh to jail on judicial remand till February 25.
