Accountability Court, Rawalpindi has sentenced Khurram Rasool to three years in jail.
Khurram Rasool, ex-media coordinator to Prime Minister Gilani, has been convicted in the banking fraud case, while earlier Banking Court had accepted his interim bail.
He has been convicted ex-parte for no appearance in the banking fraud case. Khurram was charged with embezzling Rs 710 million of a private bank.
Earlier, the Lahore High Court had rejected the protective bail plea of PM’s former media coordinator on his non-presence in LPG quota fraud case. Two-member bench of Lahore High Court heard the petition and summoned NAB officials.
During proceedings, the NAB officials informed the court that Khurram Rasool was involved in Rs 710 million LPG quota frauds. Khurram Rasool’s counsel prayed to court that his client feared security risk that is why he has never appeared in the court.
In response, the court while expressing dissatisfaction rejected the plea of protective bail by Khurram Rasool.
