The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) will submit a plea bargain report on Zain Malik, the son-in-law of Bahria Town chief Malik Riaz, at the next hearing. The indictment process will begin after the report is presented.
On 10th June, Zardari had surrendered himself to a team of the NAB after IHC rejected his and Talpur’s pre-arrest bail plea in the money laundering case.
