ISLAMABAD: Accountability Court (AC) has disposed of PTI leader and lawyer Babar Awan bail petition in 190 million pounds scandal in light of investigation officer statement.

Babar Awan appeared before Judge Muhammad Bashir of AC Islamabad on matter of extension in his bail in 190 million pounds scandal case.

NAB prosecutor told court arrest warrants of Babar Awan have not been issued. Judge Muhammad Bashir said according to NAB your arrest is not required. Therefore, warrants have not been issued.

Babar Awan argued I received notice whereby NAB had summoned me. I sent reply I had no document in respect of 190 million pounds and I was outside country. Second notice was received by me from NAB. NAB should tell if chairman PTI had got some money. If he had committed some corruption then tell.

Babar Awan said NAB should see how many students were studying in Al-Qadir University at present. People ran away after devouring Rs 1,100 billion. We are being accused of devouring money. I gave statement in NAB office. I gave reply.

Babar Awan while continuing his arguments said NAB has received my reply as witness. Ask from NAB what evidence is against me. Show me evidence. I just take back my bail plea. I go alongside NAB. I have no complaint against NAB. I know its compulsions. I propose them they should go to Jhelum and see it once.

Court wrapped up Babar Awan bail petition in light of investigation officer statement.
