According to the NAB sources, Nusrat Shehbaz, first wife of Shehbaz Sharif, owned assets worth Rs225.6 million while his second wife, Tehmina Durrani owned assets worth Rs5.7 million in Pakistan.

Tehmina Durrani also owned a four kanal plot and one acre valuable agricultural land in Gwadar. Earlier on May 28, the counsel assured the accountability court that Opposition Leader in the National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif will return to the country on June 11. During the hearing of Shehbaz Sharif’s plea for exemption from attendance in the Ashiana scandal case on Tuesday, the court expressed its anger when lawyers started speaking same time. “It is a court and do not make it a political arena,” it remarked. The judge called Hamaza Sharif to the rostrum when lawyers misbehaved with each other.
