Agha Siraj Durrani has been accused of accumulating assets worth Rs1.6 billion
Islamabad: Supreme Court of Pakistan on Friday has ordered Sindh Assembly Speaker Agha Siraj Durrani to surrender before National Accountability Bureau (NAB) in assets beyond income case.
According to details, the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) speaker Agha Siraj Durrani had approached the Supreme Court for pre-arrest bail in the assets beyond known source of income’s case.
On the occasion, Durrani expressed hope that he will get justice from SC.
Earlier, a team of NAB had raided the residence of the speaker following rejection of his bail from Sindh High Court (SHC) but failed to arrest him due to resistance from his guard.
It is pertinent to remember that NAB had filed a reference against the PPP leader, his family members and others for allegedly accumulating assets worth Rs1.6 billion through illegal means. Durrani was unable to account for a difference of Rs1.6b between his declared incomes from 1985 to 2018.
