Imran skips NAB hearing of corruption case

RAWALPINDI: Former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi on Thursday failed to appear before the National Accountability Bureau in an inquiry into ‘National Crime Agency £190m Scandal’ case.

Imran Khan took the stance that he was in Lahore seeking pre-arrest bail in various cases, adding the Islamabad High Court had granted him bail till May 22.

He cannot appear before the bureau in person before May 22, he responded. The allegations made in the summons notice are false, frivolous and self-made, Imran Khan maintained.

The accountability watchdog had summoned Imran Khan and his wife on May 18 in ‘personal capacity’ in the Al-Qadir Trust case, which title has been changed to ‘National Crime Agency £190m Scandal’.

Earlier, PTI Chairman Imran Khan’s wife Bushra bibi was granted protective bail in the Al-Qadir Trust case till May 23.

Bushra Bibi were summoned to the NAB Rawalpindi office along with case record and other relevant documents.

The NAB said the record has been sought from the former first wife as a trustee of the Al-Qadir Trust.
