ISLAMABAD: An accountability court in Islamabad on Tuesday granted permission to the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) to interrogate former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, ARY News reported.

The accountability court was hearing a case related to illegal usage of bullet-proof vehicles, where the judge allowed the anti-corruption watchdog to carry on the further investigation against the incarcerated former premier.

Investigation officer will record Sharif’s statement in Kot Lakhpat jail.


It is pertinent to mention here that the statements of former premier Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, Director General Intelligence Bureau (IB), Fawad Hassan Fawad and officers of Foreign Ministry were also recorded.

Moreover, a report was also submitted by the Establishment Division to the NAB Rawalpindi.

NAB had already recovered two vehicles from Sharif family, which had been brought for South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) Conference. The conference was cancelled and the vehicles were allegedly captured by the Sharif family.

An accountability court in Islamabad on Tuesday allowed National Accountability Bureau (NAB) to interrogate former prime minister Nawaz Sharif on the alleged illegal use of 20 bulletproof cars imported for a conference of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (Saarc).

The anti-corruption watchdog had filed an application in the court, seeking direct access to Sharif in Kot Lakhpat jail — where he is currently serving a seven-year sentence in the Al-Azizia Steel Mills case — so that he could be interrogated by NAB investigation officers.

The government had imported 34 bulletproof cars from Germany for guests of a Saarc meeting in 2016. According to NAB — which is investigating the case of misuse of government cars — 20 out of 34 bulletproof cars were added to the personal caravan of Nawaz Sharif in sheer violation of rules.

According to the bureau, the bulletproof cars were also being illegally used by family members of the former premier.

NAB has already interrogated former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, the then principal secretary to prime minister Fawad Hassan Fawad and former foreign secretary in this regard.

They should just dedicate a special team to adding years onto his sentence. Year at a time let him die in prison. Next Zardari and Showbaz.
