Islamabad (News Pulse): The National Accountability Bureau on Wednesday arrested senior PPP leader Syed Khursheed Shah in a case regarding his alleged assets beyond means.
“NAB Sukkur has arrested Syed Khursheed Shah in the assets beyond means case,” a brief handwritten statement issued by NAB Islamabad said.
He will be presented before the relevant accountability court in Sukkur for remand tomorrow, the press release added.
The PPP leader was arrested in a joint operation by NAB’s Rawalpindi and Sukkur chapters.
Shah was taken away by nearly 20 personnel of NAB and police during a raid at his Islamabad residence, the media reported.
They claimed that the NAB and police personnel had neither allowed any discussion nor let the servants take out their mobile phones before they took Shah away with them.
Reacting to the development, PPP senior leader Sherry Rehman said Shah, an MNA, was arrested while the National Assembly session was underway without intimating the NA speaker to “further your condemnable objectives”.
“On one hand we say that the law of jungle is prevailing in the world through which Kashmir is being subjected to state oppression; it appears that something similar is happening here.”
