National Accountability Bureau (NAB) regional office in Lahore is said to have dispatched references against the Sharif family and Finance Minister Ishaq Dar to its headquarters for a final review and approval. NAB officials went into a huddle at Lahore regional office under their Director General to mull over dispatching the references to anti-graft body's headquarters.
A reference against Sharif family has been forwarded to the headquarters, recommending seizure of Sharif family's offshore properties, freezing bank accounts, and placing family members' names on Exit Control List (ECL). The second reference is against Finance Minister Ishaq Dar which has been forwarded along with the first one for possessing assets beyond means of his known sources of income.
Under the court orders, the NAB was tasked to file references against Captain Muhammad Safdar (retd), Maryam Nawaz, Hassan and Hussain Nawaz as well as Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
