Pakistan
Court issues fresh non-bailable arrest warrants for Sanaullah
The anti-Corruption Establishment team heads to Islamabad to arrest him
Rawalpindi: A local court in Rawalpindi on Monday again issued the arrest warrants for Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah directing the Punjab Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE) team to present the latter before the court after arresting him.
According to details, Senior Civil Judge Ghulam Akbar heard the case.
During the hearing, the judge remarked how the court could immediately declare the minister a proclaimed offender when it issued his warrants only a couple of days ago. He ordered the ACE team to go back to Islamabad and arrest Sanaullah.
At the outset of the hearing, the investigation officer told the court that the accused was hiding. He said that the ACE team tried to arrest him but all in vain and pleaded with the judge to declare him proclaimed offender.
However, the judge rejected his request and reissued arrest warrants of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz’s (PML-N) senior leader Rana Sanaullah.
On Saturday, the special court judge issued non-bailable arrest warrants for the interior minister for not appearing before the Anti-Corruption Establishment in connection with a corruption inquiry.
