“He has been sent to jail on the directives of the court,” SHO Shabbir Hussain told Daily Times. The SHO also confirmed the news. Interestingly, Sultan’s game came to an end when he told a KU official

“You have not been given the position that you wanted because you are not respecting me,” on which the official wrote a letter to the editor of a local newspaper and mentioned the remarks.
