LAHORE: An accountability court in Lahore on Tuesday issued notices to Opposition Leader in National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif and his son Hamza Shehbaz to appear on March 4 in Ramzan Sugar Mills reference, ARY News reported.
The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Monday filed Ramzan Sugar Mills reference, accusing Shehbaz Sharif and Hamza Shehbaz for causing loss of rupees 213 million to the national exchequer.
“As Punjab chief minister Shehbaz had misused his authority by constructing a 9 to 10 kilometers of drain to facilitate Ramzan Sugar mills under pretext of people’s well-being,” the reference read.
An inquiry that was carried out in the month of July last year, proved that Shehbaz abused his powers to benefit his family members, the accountability watchdog said and added, “We have sufficient evidence against the father and the son.”
On February 2, following the completion of investigation into Ramzan Sugar Mills scam, the NAB Lahore, had decided to nominate Shehbaz Sharif and Hamza Shehbaz as main accused in the scandal.
