LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) leaders Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain and Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi appeared before the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Friday in a case related to their assets and wealth.
The NAB had summoned the PML-Q leaders for investigation relating to a case filed 12 years ago — before the tenure of General (retd) Pervez Musharraf, who they were allied with.
The Chaudhry cousins from Gujrat are facing inquiries of allegedly owning assets disproportionate to their known sources of income.
The two leaders, during their appearance, submitted NAB’s questionnaire comprising 50 questions to a three-member team and spent 40 minutes under interrogation. The questions concerned details of purchase and sale of their properties.
The NAB had earlier made government-level contacts with Deputy Commissioner Lahore and Gujranwala to obtain details of the assets of the two leaders and their children. Those details would now be matched with the answers submitted by Shujaat and Elahi.
