FIA investigators and prosecutors on Thursday filed a request with the special judge in the Central Rawalpindi Court for cancellation of bail of former Religious Affairs Minister Hamid Saeed Kazmi.
FIA Investigators claimed to have found more evidence, including bank transactions, against the former minister and the prime suspect in the scam.
Considering the serious nature of the collected evidence and financial irregularities, FIA Director Hussain Asghar requested for Kasmi’s non-bailable arrest warrants.
The court, on the request of FIA, issued notices to all parties and adjourned the hearing of the case until March 14.
Kazmi, along with two others, was accused of corruption and inflicting a loss of almost Rs 1 billion to the national exchequer.
A case was registered against him and he was arrested on March 15, 2011. A Rawalpindi court granted him bail on August 27.
