A court yesterday ordered that a senior Punjab minister from Prime Minister Imran Khan's ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party be held in detention for nine days so that the top anti-graft body can question him on corruption allegations.
The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Wednesday arrested Punjab government's powerful senior minister Abdul
Aleem Khan for possessing assets beyond his known sources of income.
According to a report the NAB secured Aleem's physical remand till February 15. Soon after his arrest, Aleem resigned from the post of Punjab local government minister and sent his resignation to the provincial chief minister.
