NAB team reaches LHC to arrest Shahbaz Sharif
Shahbaz Sharif had filed an application in the Lahore High Court yesterday for his interim bail to avoid further arrest in the case of assets in excess of income and money laundering.
Taking the Chairman NAB and others as parties, the petition took the position that there is a danger of being arrested by the NAB in the pending inquiry. According to Sharif, he has been declaring all his assets regularly. The NAB has made a case of assets in excess of income on the basis of malice.

The petition states that he started his business in 1972 and played an important role in the agriculture, sugar and textile industries. He entered politics in 1988 for the betterment of the society.
Due to the political influence of the present government, the NAB launched an inquiry in which the allegations leveled by the NAB are of a general nature. He was arrested in the same case in 2018 and had also fully cooperated with the NAB.
PML-N leader Shahbaz Sharif questioned the NAB in the petition, saying that during the arrest in 2018, the NAB did not present a single piece of evidence of abuse of power. NAB cannot exercise its power in a case in which there is no evidence. Allegations of money laundering are also baseless.
