The Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader was arrested by National Accountability Bureau (NAB) officials from Islamabad in February this year. The Sindh Assembly speaker pleaded to the court that his arrest was illegal as it was done in violation of law. He also prayed the court to scrap the NAB inquiry against him. Durrani made chairman NAB respondent in petition as well. Earlier, the accountability court had extended physical remand of Mr Durrani in a corruption case till April 12.
