ISLAMABAD: The woman, who abused police at the entry point of highly-guarded Diplomatic Enclave, was admitted to the Armed Forces Institute of Cardiology (AFIC) on Monday.

Polyclinic spokesperson Dr Sharif Astori told Dawn on Monday that medical reports had declared the woman healthy, therefore, they decided to discharge her.

However she insisted on being referred to AFIC after which the police shifted her to the hospital.

On Monday, the woman’s counsel informed the court that her client was not feeling well and she was shifted to AFIC.

The court directed that she be produced on Tuesday.

A bail application was filed in the court of Civil Judge Saqib Jawad. But, it was decided that the hearing be held on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, State Minister for Interior Shehryar Afridi took notice of the incident and ordered the police to take strict action against the woman.

Though the woman was arrested on Sunday and a magistrate sent her on 14 days judicial remand to jail but she was admitted to Polyclinic because of heart issues.

The woman came to Gate-1 of the Diplomatic Enclave in a black Honda car on Saturday, which did not have a number plate. When the police officials saw the car without the number plate they intercepted the vehicle.

On inquiry, she introduced herself and said she was heading towards the US embassy. However, she was denied entry as according to the standard operating procedure, vehicles without registration number plates were not allowed to enter the enclave.
