Senator Ishaq Dar’s doctors have advised him to get admitted to the hospital again for treatment after a scan showed complexities in his spine, a private media outfit reported citing sources.
This was prescribed a day earlier when Dar met a neuro-spinal surgeon to discuss his Magnetic Resonance Imaging result, sources said. It showed that Dar had slipped disc at some point in his cervical spine, which is why the doctor advised him to get admitted so that injections could be administered in his spine, they added.
Dar left for London around two months ago, for treatment of heart ailments. However, further tests showed him to have been undergoing several health issues, including those related to his spine.
The completion of Dar’s treatment is awaited in his home country, Pakistan, as the anti-graft body of the country, National Accountability Bureau, had decided to issue red warrants against him after he remained absent from court.
A corruption reference pertaining to Dar’s owning assets disproportionate to his known sources of income was filed by NAB in light of the Supreme Court’s July 28 judgment in the Panama Papers case. However, Dar has denied any wrongdoing.
