KARACHI: National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has decided to challenge production order of Sindh Assembly Speaker Agha Siraj Durrani, on Friday.

According to private news channel report, NAB officials are waiting for the approval of the chairman.

On the other hand, family of Agha Siraj Durrani has also decided to move court against his arrest.

Earlier on February 20, NAB had arrested PPP’s Durrani for investigation into assets disproportionate to his known sources of income and funds embezzlement charges.

Afterwards, accountability court had sent Durrani on a three-day transit remand.

According to NAB, the speaker owns properties in Karachi, Hyderabad and Sukkur while he could not provide satisfactory response to the ongoing investigation by NAB officials.

The NAB had also obtained the required information from the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) and found that the properties and companies have been named after him and his 11 family members.

The speaker was taken into custody from a hotel in Islamabad’s Red Zone area.

It is pertinent to mention that the NAB had approved an inquiry against Durrani over various allegations of corruption in July, 2018.
