Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz president Shehbaz Sharif and his son, Hamza Shehbaz, appeared before an accountability court on Wednesday in connection with an ongoing probe into the Ramzan Sugar Mills corruption reference. The court accepted the plea of Shehbaz’s defence counsel and postponed indictment of the opposition leader and his son in the reference until the next hearing. The National Accountability Bureau last month filed a reference against Shehbaz and Hamza alleging that the former chief minister of Punjab misused his authority by using public funds for the construction of a bridge to facilitate the Ramzan mills, owned by his sons. The Lahore High Court on February 14 granted bail to Shehbaz in the Ashiana Iqbal Housing scheme and Ramzan Sugar Mills cases. The opposition leader has already been indicted in the Ashiana scheme case.
