LAHORE – Accountability court has indicted Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) president Shehbaz Sharif and his son, Opposition Leader in the National Assembly (NA) Hamza Shahbaz in Ramzan Sugar Mills case on Tuesday.
Both the leaders appeared before the court in Lahore where they were indicted in the Ramzan Sugar Mills case.
During the hearing, the accused denied all the charges and said that they had saved over Rs2300 billion, assuring that the money was not misused.
The court has summoned witnesses and adjourned the hearing.
Earlier in February, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) had filed a reference against the two alleging that the former chief minister of Punjab Shehbaz Sharif misused his authority by using public funds for the construction of a bridge to facilitate the Ramzan mills, owned by his sons.
Hamza Shehbaz was granted pre-arrest bail till April 17 by the LHC, which also restrained NAB from arresting him in cases pertaining to ownership of assets beyond means, until further notice.
