Lahore: The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has summoned Salman Shehbaz in assets beyond means case on October 10. Salman is the son of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) president, Leader of Opposition in National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif.
The former Punjab Chief Minister (CM) Shehbaz Sharif was earlier arrested by NAB on October 5 in the Ashiana Iqbal housing scheme case.
The NAB sources say Shahbaz is being investigated in the light of revelations made by former principal secretary Fawad Hassan who is in NAB’s custody on physical remand, while the other main accused in the Ashiana-e-Iqbal Housing scam, Ahad Khan, is on judicial remand.
The Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly was accused of corruption in the case.
“The NAB Lahore has arrested former Punjab chief minister Shahbaz Sharif in the Ashiana company case. The bureau will present him before an accountability court tomorrow for remand,” an official press release of the anti-graft body said.
