An accountability court in Lahore on Wednesday granted the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) physical remand of Leader of the Opposition in the Punjab Assembly Hamza Shahbaz for 15 days till June 26.
Hamza, who was arrested a day earlier, was remanded in the money laundering/assets beyond means and the Ramzan Sugar Mills cases.
A NAB team earlier brought Hamza to the court amid tight security. NAB special prosecutor Waris Ali Janjua had said the accountability bureau would present its arguments for 15-day physical remand of Hamza before admin Judge Jawad ul Hassan.
Hamza’s lawyers Advocate Amjad Pervez and Advocate Salman Aslam Butt were present on his behalf.
