KARACHI: Sindh government sent a written request to the federal government on Tuesday, seeking to move supermodel Ayyan to Karachi Central Jail from Adiala jail, Express News reported.
Recently arrested by customs officials for attempting to smuggle $500,000 to Dubai, the model-cum-singer was sent on a 14-day judicial remand to Adiala jail in Rawalpindi although a special customs court admitted a plea seeking Ayyan’s bail.

It is expected that the Ayyan will arrive in Karachi in the coming few days.
The supermodel is said to be given the ‘VVIP’ treatment inside Adial jail. A senior warden of Adiala prison facility said Ayyan is detained at the female barrack No 1 VIP room and is no ordinary prisoner.
“She is a supermodel and enjoys super facilities. Two female prisoners are appointed to ‘serve’ her,” he said jokingly.
Ayyan has been provided a well-furnished room, complete with a TV set and refrigerator.

Adiala prisoners are not allowed mobile phones; neither do they work inside the prison due to jammers.
Ayyan, however, has been given a ‘V-set’, the only kind of phone that works inside the prison.
