Earlier today, a first information report (FIR) was registered against Hamza’s guards on an application filed by NAB. The FIR registered in Lahore’s Model Town Police Station states that Hamza’s guards manhandled and threatened NAB team members who raided Shehbaz’s residence.
Yesterday, the NAB has summoned Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly (NA) and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Shehbaz Sharif with his sons – Hamza Shehbaz and Salman Shehbaz – on April 9 in a money laundering case.
The anti-corruption watchdog directed Sharifs in its notice to appear before the bureau with complete documents.
The NAB sources revealed that PML-N president will be inquired about his assets and sources of income. Furthermore, the NAB has also asked Shehbaz Sharif to give details of the property that he inherited from his father, Muhammad Sharif.
Earlier on Friday, officials of the anti-corruption watchdog carried out an unsuccessful raid to arrest Leader of the Opposition in the Punjab Assembly Hamza Shahbaz – Shehbaz Sharif’s son – at his Model Town residence for alleged involvement in money laundering.
However, Shehbaz Sharif’s guards exchanged harsh words with the NAB team on the occasion and stopped the team outside the residence.
However, the officials left without arresting anyone due to severe resistance.
