LAHORE: The District and Sessions Court Lahore on Saturday granted bails to estranged Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Jahangir Tareen and his son Ali Tareen till April 22 in two cases pertaining to money laundering through sugar mills.
Jahangir Tareen and Ali Tareen appeared before the court and their counsel requested to grant bail for a longer period owing to the coronavirus situation. The lawyer maintained that the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) had summoned his clients on Friday and is likely to call them to its office again.
Additional Sessions Judge Hamid Hussain inquired from the FIA whether it had any objection over the request, to which the investigation agency replied in negative. The judge ordered the FIA to keep the investigation transparent and to include all suspects in interrogation.
