Lahore: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Shah Mahmood Qureshi has been shifted to Lahore from the Adiala jail.

According to sources, Qureshi is set to be produced before anti-terrorism court (ATC) in the cases pertaining to the May 9 riots.

The sources said Qureshi was transferred to Lahore in the wee hours of the morning amid tight security.

The PTI leader would be produced before the anti-terrorism court established in Kot Lakhpat Jail, they added.

Qureshi, already imprisoned in Rawalpindi’s Adiala jail in multiple cases, was implicated in eight more cases in connection with the May 9 mayhem on May 26.

A special court established under the Official Secrets Act had handed Qureshi 10 years imprisonment in the cipher case on January 30.
