LAHORE (92 News) – The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) arrested Opposition Leader in the Punjab Assembly Hamza Shehbaz after Lahore High Court (LHC) Judge Mazahar Ali Akbar Naqvi dismissed his plea for extension of his interim bail on Tuesday.
After the arrest, the NAB officials shifted Hamza Shehbaz to NAB Headquarters, Thokar Niaz Baig.
The applications for bail were rejected after he withdrew them. Hamza Shehbaz had moved the LHC for the interim bail in assets beyond income and Ramazan Sugar Mills cases.
Hearing the plea, the judge remarked that everything in court will be done as per law and justice.
Earlier, the court rejected Hamza Shehbaz’s plea for documents. The NAB prosecutor told court Hamza Shehbaz was summoned several times, but he did not turn up.
Hamza Shehbaz’s counsel said that the NAB is just leveling allegations and it had nothing.
