Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Mian Saqib Nisar on Saturday revealed that three bottles of liquor were found in the room of imprisoned PPP leader Sharjeel Memon at Karachi’s Ziauddin Hospital, where the top judge made a surprise early-morning visit.
The facility housing the PPP MPA is one of three hospitals that the chief justice made a surprise visit to this morning before arriving at the court.
“When Sharjeel Memon was asked [about the liquor], he said they were not his,” Justice Nisar said before hearing cases at the Supreme Court’s Karachi registry.
Sharjeel Memon had been under treatment and in judicial custody at Ziauddin Hospital, where his room had been declared a sub-jail. He was transferred back to Karachi’s Central Jail soon after.
