But, the NAB had arrested the accused, he said and pleaded the court to grant benefit of the bail to the accused.
However, NAB's prosecutor Rana Arif opposed the request and submitted that the accused illegally sold property situated in Dubai already surrendered to NAB in Sheikh Afzal's Case (Bank of Punjab Scam).
He submitted that the property, situated in Dubai's affluent Emirates Hill neighbourhood, had been frozen along with other assets belonging to the accused after they failed to return a loan obtained from the BoP.
