AC told Parvez Elahi suffered minor fracture in jail

LAHORE: An anti-corruption court (ATC) was Tuesday informed that former Punjab chief minister Chaudhry Parvez Elahi had suffered a minor fracture after falling in the jail bathroom on March 17.

This statement was made in a report from the Adiala jail superintendent, which was submitted to Judge Arshad Hussain Bhutta, who was presiding over the Punjab Assembly illegal appointments case. Deputy Superintendent Jail Tahir submitted Elahi’s medical report to the court.

Following the report’s submission, the court noted that the indictment could not be made due to the incomplete number of accused.

The court adjourned further hearings until April 4 and summoned all the accused for indictment on the next date of hearing.

It is worth mentioning that this is not the first time the indictment of the accused has been delayed in this matter. The accused could not be indicted during the previous hearings on March 6 and March 11 as well.

The Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE), Punjab, registered the case, accusing Parvez Elahi of unlawful appointments and kickbacks.
