*LAHORE - Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif was shifted to the Kot Lakhpat Jail in Lahore Tuesday morning on his 69thbirthday.*

The PML-N leader was sentenced to seven years in jail on Monday by an accountability court in the Al Azizia case.

Nawaz had requested the court to shift him to the Lahore jail instead of Adiala, which the court allowed.

PML-N workers celebrated his birthday outside the jail on Tuesday morning before he left the jail. They cut a cake.

He was transported from Adiala amid strict security.
