Joint investigation team: Police to ensure presence of Dr Arsalan
The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has issued notices to the Islamabad inspector general police (IGP) and the Punjab IGP to ensure the presence of Dr Arslan Iftikhar, Suleman Ahmed (son-in-law of former Chairman of Bahria Town Malik Riaz) and his business partner Ahmed Khalil before the bureau’s joint investigation team.
According to sources, the notices have emphasised the IGPs to ensure the presence of the three men involved in the Dr Arsalan saga on Monday at 11:00 am sharp without failure.
NAB had already issued separate notices to Dr Arsalan, Suleman and Khalil to appear before the joint investigation team last week. The five-member team is headed by NAB’s Financial Crime Wing Director General Kosar Iqbal Malik. Sources in the bureau revealed that if any of the three failed to appear before the investigation team, NAB will issue non-bailable warrants against them for non-cooperation.
Riaz, the real estate tycoon, has already recorded his statement before the joint investigation team in NAB’s headquarters. According to sources, Riaz has made a number of crucial disclosures in his statement.
Sources added that NAB has also decided to contact authorities in Britain and the United Arab Emirates to obtain the all related documents of the case including payments made through credit cards.

@Zafar Sultan: and I believe you people are authorized to bash around the Parliement, PM and President so go on but also learn to respect the opinion of people of Pakistan and constitution of Pakistan
Mr Mirza, As u are famous for Judicial bashing, U should NOT comment. Ur comments are NOT objective.It is purely abuse of freedom. No free society allows defaming without substance U should try get remand of those already convicted and still holding offices as Ministers, President.
Get these tiny Arab states from Pakistan's way to a clean society.
To be fair police should obtain a two week remand against both parties and investigate like ordinary citizens. No favors to the second generation of corrupt and powerful.
