ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) leaders Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain and Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain have on Monday appeared before the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Lahore office to provide details of assets possessed by the two to the bureau.

The two PML-Q leaders are expected to appear in the trial court on Monday and have reasserted that they will present proofs to prove themselves innocent to the authorities.
As per reports, the brothers have been alleged of involvement in Rs 2.428 billion corruption case.
