Former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Thursday made a new demand from his legal team to fulfil the legal requirements and provide him with an exercise machine in jail.
It is pertinent to note that PTI Chairman Imran Khan was arrested from his Zaman Park residence in Lahore, moments after the Islamabad sessions court sentenced him to three years imprisonment and disqualified him for five years in the Toshakhana criminal case on August 6.
Imran Khan was transferred to Attock Jail as part of his detention where his medical examination was conducted. Following this, he was moved to Adiala Jail.
PTI legal team member Sher Afzal Marwat, talking to media persons after meeting with Imran Khan on Thursday, claimed that the PTI chairman asked for an exercise machine, so he could exercise on a daily basis.
