Abbasi, OGRA Chairperson Uzma Adil and other suspects appeared before the court on Friday.
The NAB prosecutor requested the court to indict the suspects and said they don’t know where Islam is. We have presented his travel history in court, said the prosecutor, adding that warrants have also been sent to his house.
If the court pleases, it can declare the absconding suspect a proclaimed offender or separate the trial, the prosecutor said.
