ISLAMABAD: The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Thursday decided to challenge the accountability court’s decision of releasing Muhammad Safdar, son-in-law of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, on surety bonds.

The country’s anti-watchdog has also prepared an application in this regard to challenging the accountability court’s decision.

The AC had released Captain (r) Safdar on bail who was presented before the court by National Accountability Bureau (NAB).

The court had rejected NAB’s request to confiscate Safdar’s passport and to issue his judicial remand; however, he had been directed not to leave the country without court’s permission.

Safdar was arrested on October 9 by NAB from Islamabad airport as he returned from London along with wife Maryam Nawaz.
