The assets of former prime minister Yousaf Raza Gilani’s son Ali Musa Gilani, wife, Fozia Gilani and others accused including Makhdum Shahabuddin and Khushnood Lashari were ordered to be seized in ephedrine quota case here on Tuesday.
The Anti-Narcotics Force court also issued summons to the accused allegedly involved in this case.
According to the ANF’s fourth challan in the ephedrine case, there were 17 accused persons including two approvers, Dr Rashid Juma, former director general health, and Rizwan Ahmed Khan, former director of the Danas pharmaceutical company, who obtained 2,500 kg ephedrine quota.
Initially named as accused, Dr Juma and Rizwan Khan turned approvers in July this year and alleged the involvement of Makhdoom Shahab, Federal Minister for Textile Industries, Ali Musa Gilani, son of former prime minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani, and Federal Secretary Khushnood Lashari.
Legal experts say that under section 173 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC), the names of approvers should be mentioned in column 6 of the report (challan), which is reserved for the witnesses but the ANF included their names in column 4 of the challan, which is for an accused on bail.
