Medical test of alleged terror facilitator Dr Asim Hussain was conducted at Jinnah Hospital on Tuesday.
The law enforcement agencies maintained a strict security plan for arrival of former petroleum minister at the hospital. The personnel brought the terror accused for a medical checkup after an anti-terrorism court (ATC) had ordered the authorities to approach the accountability court (AC) in the matter.
A complete neural scan was carried out at Jinnah Hospital’s MRI Ward. Tight security arrangements were ensured in and around the hospital. Earlier in the past week during hearing of terror case in ATC, Dr Asim had said that he needed to visit a hospital for his medical checkup.
The former minister is facing a terror case which was registered in North Nazimabad Police Station in November 2015. The accused is alleged of treating target killers and militants in his hospital in Karachi. The alleged terror facilitator provided safe havens to terrorists in the name of medical treatment.
Rangers had apprehended the alleged culprit in August 2015 from the office of Sindh Higher Education Commission (HEC). The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) is also hounding the alleged terror sponsor. He is alleged of corruption worth millions of rupees. In one of the recent hearings of the case, the prosecutor said that 80 per cent transactions had been traced.
