LAHORE: The National Accountability Bureau on Tuesday detained Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Khawaja Saad Rafique and his brother Salman Rafique in connection to the Paragon Housing Society scam.
The PML-N leader and his brother were detained after the Lahore High Court (LHC) rejected their request for an extension in their interim bail.
A two-judge bench headed by Justice Tariq Abbasi heard the petition of the brothers seeking an extension in their interim bail. Initially, the court extended their interim bail till December 13, however, the bench later rejected their petitions.
NAB had summoned the former railways minister and his brother on October 16 in a case related to the Paragon Housing scam. The two brothers had moved the Islamabad High Court to provide a protective bail which the latter had rejected and advised the petitioners to approach the LHC.
