LAHORE: The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Tuesday opposed the bail request of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Khawaja Asif in a wealth case.
The anti-graft body, in its response submitted to the Lahore High Court (LHC), said it launched the inquiry against Asif in accordance with the law as his net worth did not match his disclosed income.
It further said that the former minister failed to give a response to charges of assets and money laundering. The bureau pleaded with the court to reject the request as the investigation was still underway.
The accountability body accused that a bank peon in Lahore had submitted over Rs28 million to his bank account following the orders of senior officers.
It stated that a nephew of Asif, Khawaja Sultan, had submitted Rs20 million to his bank account after being told by the former minister.
