He informed the bureau after buying the vehicle. The court reserved verdict after completion of arguments. However, the decision will be announced tomorrow. Meanwhile, the anti-graft watchdog body has frozen the moveable and immovable assets of Khaqan Abbasi and former finance minister Miftah Ismail. After the freezing of assets of both PML-N leaders, they will not be able to transfer ownership of vehicles and property. Earlier, an accountability court strictly directed the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) to file liquefied natural gas (LNG) supplementary reference till August 6. The NAB has once again sought time from accountability court for filing LNG supplementary reference. However, the indictment proceedings against former premier Shahid Khaqan Abbasi have been deferred till registration of supplementary reference.

Talking to the journalists, the former prime minister said that the NAB is being used politically, adding that all allegations are fake and baseless against him.
