The seven prisoners who had to be operated upon are: trial prisoners Najeeb, Waheed, Sharafat, Farman, Ghulam Abbas, Farzand and Jamil, added the paper.

Butt said that six kg of narcotics was also seized at the main gate, which was being smuggled into the jail as a thick coating on a pizza, and that one-and-a-half litres of liquor was seized while being brought in mineral water bottles.
