Sharif s Jati Umra residence declared sub-jail

LAHORE – The Lahore residence of Sharif family in Jati Umra has been declared sub-jail after former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, his daughter Maryam Nawaz and son-in-law Captain (r) Safdar were brought to the place on parole following Begum Kulsoom Nawaz’s death on Tuesday.

Strict security arrangements have been made to avoid any untoward situation around the premises of the farmhouse where the former first lady will be buried on Friday.

Nawaz Sharif, Maryam Nawaz and Capt (retd) Safdar, who have been convicted in the Avenfield reference, will remain within the boundaries of Jati Umra during their 12-hour release on parole, Dunya News reported.

Kulsoom Nawaz breathed her last at the age of 68 at the Harley Street Clinic, months after battling lymphoma.
