An accountability court in Islamabad will hear the fake accounts case against former president Asif Ali Zardari’s sister Faryal Talpur today.
According to sources, an arrest warrant signed for Talpur over by National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Chairman Justice (retd) Javed Iqbal was handed to NAB Rawalpindi two days ago.
Following the directions, NAB Rawalpindi constituted a team to arrest the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader.
On Monday, the accountability watchdog arrested Zardari in the fake bank accounts case from the federal capital, after a bench of the Islamabad High Court rejected a plea filed by Zardari and Talpur seeking an extension in their interim bail in the fake bank accounts case.
The case pertains to transactions worth hundreds of millions of rupees to the two leaders’ private companies, allegedly, through fake bank accounts.
