ISLAMABAD, November 16: National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Friday suggested the Ministry of Interior to put the names of Leader of Opposition in Punjab and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Hamza Shehbaz Sharif and his brother Salman Shehbaz on the Exit Control List (ECL).
They have submitted a request to the interior ministry. Hamza and Salman should be stopped from travelling abroad, the NAB said.
Shehbaz Sharif is currently in NAB’s custody for involvement in the Ashiana Housing scam.
On October 10, the bureau grilled Salman for owning assets beyond his income. He appeared before the bureau’s Lahore office. A three-member team investigated him for 1.5 hours.
He submitted documents for his businesses. The accountability bureau gave him a questionnaire. He has been given seven days to submit a reply.
On November 1, Hamza obtained pre-arrest bail from the Lahore High Court to avoid being arrested by NAB. – NNI
