ISLAMABAD: Former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi was shifted to Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) for medical check-up after his health condition deteriorated.
A spokesman for PIMS said Abbasi had his medical check-up done from the cardiac center at the medical facility.
The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) had arrested the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) veteran in connection with a NAB inquiry into LNG scandal on July 18.
The Accountability Court continues to extend his remand as the anti-graft body has yet to file a reference against the former premier.
Abbasi told the court on October 28 that a medical board had advised him to have a surgery.
He had requested the court to allow him to have the surgery on his own expenses from a private hospital.
The court had extended his remand till November 19.
