The assets of former premier Yousaf Raza Gilani’s son Ali Musa Gilani, wife, Fozia Gilani and other accused including Makhdum Shahabuddin and Khushnood Lashari were ordered to be seized in the ephedrine quota case on Tuesday. The Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF) court also issued summons to the accused involved in the case asking them to provide details of their sources of income on February 12. According to the ANF report, there were 17 accused persons including two approvers-former general health director Dr Rashid Juma and former Danas Pharmaceutical Company director Rizwan Ahmed Khan-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, Federal Minister for Textile Industries Makhdoom Shahabuddin, Ali Musa Gilani and Federal Secretary Khushnood Lashari. Legal experts say that under section 173 of the Criminal Procedure Code, the names of approvers should be mentioned in column 6 of the report, which is reserved for the witnesses but the ANF included their names in column 4 of the report (challan), which is for an accused on bail.
