ISLAMABAD: Following the directive of the Accountability Court in Islamabad, authorities have sealed the residence of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Zulfi Bukhari in the cantonment area of Attock.

Bukhari, a former federal minister, has been declared an absconder in the £190 million corruption case. Last year, an accountability court in Islamabad ordered the seizure of Bukhari’s properties including a 30-kanal plot, a four-kanal plot in Islamabad, and one of his properties in the Attock district: an estate of 1,210 kanals, which has a 91-kanal plot to be confiscated and passed to the state.

The case against Bukhari is part of a wider investigation into a corruption scheme led by former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife.

They are accused of gaining, in the name of Al Qadir University Trust, hundreds of canals of land, thus inflicting a loss of £190 million on the exchequer.

A corruption reference in the Al Qadir University case against Imran Khan and seven others, including his wife, was filed by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).
