The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Thursday issued arrest warrants for former president Asif Ali Zardari over suspicious transactions worth Rs8 billion in the fake accounts case. NAB Chairman Justice (retd) Javed Iqbal signed the arrest warrants.
Meanwhile, a two-member bench of the Islamabad High Court, presided by Justice Aamer Farooq, would hear Zardari’s interim-bail plea today. The court had sought arguments from Zardari’s lawyer and NAB. The anti-graft body had filed a written reply in IHC which stated that the former premier is required for investigation.
