Former Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari arrested

In Pakistan, former President Asif Ali Zardari was arrested yesterday from his residence in Islamabad in the fake bank accounts case by the country's top anti-corruption body.

A National Accountability Bureau (NAB) team accompanied by police, arrested the former president after the Islamabad High Court rejected an application seeking extension in the pre-arrest bails of



Zardari and his sister Faryal Talpur in the case.

However, his sister Faryal was not arrested so far. The arrest warrants were issued yesterday by the NAB, which is probing them in the fake bank accounts case. The case pertains to the use of alleged fake bank accounts to keep money and transfer it out of Pakistan.
