LAHORE: The Lahore High Court (LHC) will take up today a petition filed by former Punjab senior minister Abdul Aleem Khan seeking bail in a case pertaining to having assets beyond known sources of income.
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader filed the petition through his lawyer, contending that the case against him was false and fabricated as there was no evidence available with the NAB to arrest him.
He said the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) had arrested him over charges of his offshore companies and assets beyond known sources of income. He said that he had already declared his all assets and income details.
The petitioner argued that the bureau has failed to substantiate any allegations against him and pleaded to the court to grant him bail.
