The PML-N supremo reached his home in Jati Umra late Tuesday night to a warm welcome by his family members, including his mother, daughter Maryam, and brother Shehbaz Sharif.
Now, according to his personal doctor Dr Adnan, the former prime minister will be shifted to the Sharif Medical City Complex for treatment.
The PML-N supremo was sentenced to seven years in prison and was fined Rs 1.5 billion and $25 million in the Al-Azizia corruption reference by an accountability court on December 24, 2018. However, he was acquitted in another reference related to Flagship Investments. Besides, he was also disqualified from holding any public office for the period of 10 years.
Sharif, the three times prime minister, was shifted to a hospital in Lahore, the capital of Punjab province, after he was handed down jail sentence.
Five medical boards had been formed to examine his health, and all boards recommended shifting him to a hospital for treatment. Nawaz Sharif is suffering from cardiac and kidney pain.
