KARACHI – An accountability court in Sindh capital city has remanded Sindh Assembly Speaker Agha Siraj Durrani into the National Accountability Bureau’s (NAB) custody until March 1.
The leader of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) was produced by the anti-corruption bureau before the court in Karachi on Thursday. NAB authorities appealed the court to grant a 14-day physical remand of the 65-year-old, arguing that matter was “at the inquiry stage”.
Senior party leaders, including Sindh Assembly Deputy Speaker Shehla Raza, Local Government Minister Saeed Ghani, Sindh Information Minister Nasir Hussain Shah and former Sindh chief minister Qaim Ali Shah, were also at court.
