LAHORE: The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) will present former railways minister Khawaja Saad Rafique and his brother former Punjab health minister Khawaja Salman Rafique before an accountability court here today to seek their physical remand.
Special security arrangements have been made with a strong contingent of security personnel deployed at the court to avoid any untoward incident.
Yesterday, NAB officers arrested the PML-N leaders after the Lahore High Court dismissed their bail pleas in the Paragon housing society scam.
During the course of the hearing, the NAB prosecutor requested the two-judge bench of the LHC headed by Justice Tariq Abbasi to dismiss the Khawaja brothers’ bail.
He argued that the Bureau was conducting an investigation against them as per the law, adding that they were linked to the Paragon Housing Society scam.
