ISLAMABAD: National Accountability Bureau (NAB) will present former president Asif Ali Zardari before an accountability court today to seek his physical remand for questioning in connection with its investigation into the fake bank accounts case.

Strict security measures have been put in place inside and outside the Judicial Complex to deter any untoward incident. All roads leading to the court have been sealed with heavy contingents of security personnel guarding the route.

The bureau arrested the PPP co-chairman from his Islamabad residence after the Islamabad High Court (IHC) turned down his and his sister Faryal Talpur’s plea for extension in their interim bail in the case on Monday.

Following the arrest, Zardari was shifted to the NAB Rawalpindi office where doctors examined him. His medical report is expected to be presented in the court today.

Although, the court had also rejected Faryal Talpur’s bail plea but the NAB did not arrest her for the time being.
