At morning while proceeding dahmyal air base I check the police security arrangements, captain Waqar also alert with his staff early in the morning 0445 hrs., all the wireless and communication arrangements completed, From away i observe director garnal army intelligence was also walking in morning visit dress. Army helicopter landed at 0505 hrs. and while the door open Mr. Bhutto came out with one police officer, dressed light blue looks to be little bit weak and very smart, A prisoner van come close to the helicopter and requested to ride, Bhutto got angry and shout on police officer feel shame the arrangement is not up to regard
After that they did ride on prisoner van so one chair provided from nearly office in the van only seating benches equipped, Bhutto continuously arguing with police is not well behaving with his own leader rather the leader of world. Early in the morning the van entered in the jail and no one was knowing what is happening on the road as the prisoner van entered in the jail, jail door closed and Mr. Bhutto taken in security ward, Superintendent jail Ch. Yar Muhammad was interested to take Mr. Bhutto state in cell but superintendent jail kot lakhpat arrange some chairs and take tea with Mr. Bhutto, and Bhutto observe all the security arrangements.
