Former CM Punjab Shahbaz Sharif may be arrested again: Report

ISLAMABAD: Former CM Punjab Shahbaz Sharif may be arrested again if his bail in three cases is cancelled by Supreme Court as it starts the hearing of the NAB appeal.

Supreme Court (SC) on Saturday set the date for hearing of appeals filed by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) against the bail of Opposition Leader in the National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif.

A three-member bench of the apex court will take up the appeals for the cancelation of PML-N president’s bail in the Saaf Pani and Ashiana cases on October 22.

The anti-corruption watchdog had moved to the Supreme Court (SC) to challenge bail granted to Shehbaz Sharif in Saaf Pani and Ashiana housing society scam cases.

Shehbaz Sharif and Fawad Hassan Fawad are key accused in the case. Bails to the persons must be suspended after nullifying the LHC’s verdict, the petition pleaded to the court.

It is pertinent to mention here that the Lahore High Court (LHC) had granted bail to Shehbaz Sharif in the three NAB cases – the Ashiana Iqbal and Saaf Pani Company cases.
