ISLAMABAD: The National Accountability Bureau on Friday arrested Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Faryal Talpur from Islamabad in a case related to money laundering through alleged fake bank accounts.

Her arrest comes after her brother, former president and Pakistan People's Party (PPP) co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari, was arrested by the NAB earlier this week.

On Monday, the Islamabad High Court rejected bail pleas of PPP leader in connection to the case.

In its orders, the IHC allowed the NAB to arrest both PPP leaders, whom now have the option to appeal the order in the Supreme Court.

The NAB is investigating four cases where the former president and his sister are the prime accused.
