The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Monday submitted the asset particulars of six individuals accused in the 190 million-pound scam case involving former prime minister Imran Khan and others.
Subsequently, the court issued permanent arrest warrants for all six suspects including Farhat Shahzadi, Zulfi Bukhari, Shahzad Akbar, and Zia-ul-Mustafa Nasim.
Proceedings pertaining to the Toshakhana and 190 million-pound references were conducted against the founder of PTI and Bushra Bibi within the confines of Adiala Jail.
Presiding over the case, Accountability Court Judge Muhammad Basheer oversaw the proceedings.
While PTI founder Imran Khan ‘appeared’ in court, Bushra Bibi, citing ill health, was unable to attend.
The court granted her request for exemption from appearance.
The reference's copy was furnished to the PTI founder during the hearing.
The case's next hearing has been adjourned until Tuesday (today).
PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan, speaking to the media following the hearing, mentioned three prior meetings with the founder chairman regarding tickets for the upcoming general elections. However, the last meeting was not permitted.
"The Adiala Jail administration apologised and promised a meeting within the next 1 to 2 days. We are hopeful," he added.
