Memon, a former provincial information minister, was arrested in October last year by the federal anti-graft watchdog officials from outside the SHC after his interim bail plea was revoked.
The bureau had booked him and 11 others – including the former provincial information secretary, other officials of the information department and heads of different advertisement agencies – for allegedly embezzling Rs5.77 billion.
The money was embezzled purportedly while awarding contracts to seven advertising agencies to run awareness campaigns from 2013 to 2015.
