ISLAMABAD, Dec 8: Justice Rana Bhagwandas and Justice Ghulam Rabani were taken to the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (Pims) on Saturday morning when they complained of urological problems, sources told Dawn.

The two detained judges were taken to the hospital at around 9:30am amid tight security from their besieged residences. Scores of personnel of law-enforcement agencies accompanied them.
