His court appearance came amid reports that he was manhandled by a NAB investigator during interrogation at the anti-graft body's Rawalpindi office.

Were you mahandled (by NAB), asked a journalist during an informal interaction.

"No there was no mishandling, I was about to mishandle the expert they had brought in. That NAB person deserved to be manhandled. I didn't manhandle him, but I should have," he was quoted by Geo News as having told the journalists.

Asked whether a glass was thrown at him, the former prime minister said any such act will not go unanswered.
