He had complained of chest pain and was admitted to Multan Institute of Cardiology on Thursday. Reportedly, he has a history of cardiac illness and has two stent placements.
He was admitted to the hospital after medics found his blood pressure higher and heartbeat faster than normal.
After being discharged from the hospital, police escorted him to a police station. He is on a physical remand until October 27. He would also be taken to Lahore during this period to undergo a polygraph test which helps detects if the person is telling the truth by monitoring variations in the body.
Mufti Qavi was arrested on October 18 after a sessions court, hearing the murder case, dismissed his bail plea and ordered police to arrest him for failing to cooperate with the prosecution. He was remanded into police custody on October 19 wherein hours later he complained of having chest pain.
A judicial magistrate on Monday extended the remand of the accused for another four days after he recorded his statement in the case. Qavi was later transferred back to the hospital after his statement was recorded in an ambulance.
