LAHORE: National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has decided to challenge the bail of PML-N leader Rana Sanaullah in Supreme Court earlier granted by the Lahore High Court.
It has been learnt that a draft has been prepared by the NAB prosecution for seeking cancelation of Rana’s bail from the apex court. In April, this year, Lahore High Court had granted bail to Rana Sanaullah in assets beyond means case against him by the NAB.
Assets beyond means inquiry against Rana was upgraded to investigations in regional board meeting of the NAB on June 19, 2020. During the course of inquiry, it was found that Rana owns assets more than Rs400 million. As per assets details disclosed by the NAB sources, Rana owns two plots in DHA Lahore measuring one kanal each along with another plot measuring one and half kanal in the same housing society.
He also owns five plots in Bismillah Housing Society. The evidence of Rs20 million investments in Paradise Valley, Faisalabad, was also found against him. It was also transpired that he owns shops worth Rs35 million. The NAB sources claimed that Rana got profits worth Rs80 million from ‘Benami’ properties. However, Rana Sanaullah has declared NAB such claims as false on different forums terming it a politically-motivated case against him.
