LAHORE: The National Accountability Bureau's (NAB) team alongside a heavy contingent of police officers on Tuesday reached Leader of the Opposition in National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif's Model Town residence to arrest him.
Several PML-N workers also reached the PML-N president's residence to protest against the NAB; meanwhile, barricades were set up in the area and media personnel was not being allowed to go near his residence.
It was unclear what the aim of the NAB team's visit to Shehbaz's residence was.
Earlier today, the PML-N president skipped a NAB hearing over a case of assets beyond means.
Instead, in his response to the anti-graft watchdog said its team could question him via Skype because he was old and did not wish to pose a risk to his health amid the coronavirus pandemic.
In the response, the PML-N president said the coronavirus cases were rising and the pandemic was nearing its peak. He added that some of the NAB's officers had tested positive for the deadly respiratory illness as well.
Shehbaz said he was 69 years old and a cancer patient; therefore, the NAB's investigative team could question him via Skype.
