According to NAB, the team has evidence and arrest warrant against Hamza. The security guards stopped the team outside the house after which harsh words were exchanged.
Afterwards, the officials left without arresting anyone due to severe resistance by the guards.

The officials claimed that they have already detained Sharif family‘s facilitators while more arrests are also likely.
