Lahore, Feb 4 Shehbaz Sharif, Pakistan's Leader of Opposition in the National Assembly, on Thursday returned to the Kot Lakpat jail in Lahore after visiting a hospital as his health deteriorated earlier in the day.

Strict security arrangements were made and a heavy contingent of police has been deployed in and around the hospital, reports The Express Tribune.
