ISLAMABAD: ARY News has obtained final medical report of the under arrest Chairman Securities & Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) Zafar Hijazi on Saturday.

According to the medical report prepared by a five-member medical board, Hijazi was suffering from chest pain in the morning and later he was relieved through treatment.

His Exercise Tolerance Test has turned out as positive. However, the report suggests shifting him to coronary care unit (CCU) to be treated for acute coronary syndrome. The report also suggests his psychiatric evaluation as he is “under lot of mental stress”.

The report contains a major typo as Hijazi’s name on top of it is written Jajazi.
