Former president Asif Ali Zardari is appearing before the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) today in connection with the Harish and Company probe, which is part of its ongoing investigation in the fake accounts and money laundering case.
According to the accountability watchdog, Harish and Company had taken a contract for water supply from the Special Initiative Department of Sindh but no work was done on the project. It is further alleged that these funds were used to meet the expenses of Naudero House.
NAB officials claim that Harish and Company was the front company to Park Lane Estate which led to a loss of Rs60 million to the national exchequer.
Zardari and his sister Faryal Talpur were granted an extension in their pre-arrest bail by the Islamabad High Court on Wednesday in six different cases pending in NAB.
The Pakistan Peoples Party leader was granted bail extension until June 12 in the M/s Parklane Estate case, while he and his sister were granted an extension until June 11 in the “JV (Joint Venture)-Opal 225 inquiry.
