The federal cabinet placed the names of 10 people, including former prime minister Imran Khan’s close aide Shahzad Akbar, on the Exit Control List on Tuesday (ECL).
The federal cabinet, which met with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in the chair, also approved adding other names to the ECL and removing 22 names from the list, according to a statement issued by the Prime Minister’s media wing.
According to sources, the government was intentionally not disclosing the names of those who were placed on the ECL and struck off.
According to sources, Shahzad Akbar’s name was placed on the ECL at the request of the National Accountability Bureau.
Akbar left for Dubai on April 17, from where he flew to London five days later, five days after the Islamabad High Court (IHC) suspended FIA orders placing his name on the stop list.
