PML-N leader and MNA Khawaja Asif AFP/File
A National Accountability Bureau (NAB) team left with parliamentary leader of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) in the National Assembly, Khawaja Muhammad Asif, from Islamabad for Lahore after obtaining his transit remand from an Islamabad accountability court on Wednesday.
NAB arrested Asif on Tuesday night from outside the Islamabad residence of another senior PML-N leader, Ahsan Iqbal, where the former had come to attend a party meeting.
Asif has been accused of accumulating assets beyond known sources of income.
He was presented before an accountability in Islamabad, where the judge asked NAB prosecutor Sohail Arif which court the PML-N stalwart would be tried in.
