KARACHI: The Central jail authorities on Tuesday requested Civil Hospital Karachi to depute a medical team for the examination of alleged drug queenpin Anmol alias Pinky following complaints of kidney issues.
In an application dated May 26, the jail superintendent requested that a medical team be deputed for the prisoner after she was recommended for further evaluation following an initial medical examination at the prison clinic on May 23.
“Her ultrasound findings were: an echogenic area seen in one kidney at the lower pole, likely suggestive of a benign ileology (angiomyolipoma),” the application read. The examining physician advised a “re-scan with proper fasting, along with further work-up and laboratory tests.”
It also added that the accused needs a gallbladder evaluation for calculi (kidney stones) as well, directing that she be sent to the Sindh Institute of Urology & Transplantation (SIUT).
