KARACHI: An anti-corruption court in Karachi on Friday issued non-bailable arrest warrants for Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) senior leader Amin Fahim and the former director of NICL Qasim Amin Dada in the National Insurance Corporation Limited (NICL) land scam case.
Both accused had allegedly caused huge financial losses to the national exchequer by violating rules in the procurement of a piece of land in Korangi for NICL.
During today’s hearing, the court expressed its dissatisfaction over Fahim’s absence from the hearing while his lawyer, Rasheed A Rizvi, submitted to the court an apology on behalf of his client, and said that the lawmaker was not present for the hearing because he was busy with parliamentary duties.
The court ordered authorities to ensure the presence of Fahim in the next hearing of the case and issued non-bailable warrants for the arrest of the PPP president and Qasim Dada.
The hearing took place in the Special Federal Anti-Corruption Court-II, Karachi.
