ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court has granted Omni Group Director Abdul Ghani Majeed bail in the fake bank accounts case on medical grounds.
IHC two-member bench comprising Justice Mian Gul Hassan Aurangzeb and Justice Fayyaz Ahmed Jandran conducted the hearing where Abdul Ghani Majeed was granted bail and ordered to submit surety bond Rs. 100 million.
IHC further informed that Abdul Majeed required permission from the investigation officer of NAB if he wants medical treatment from another place than Islamabad.
Abdul Ghani Majeed had filed a petition in the high court, seeking post-arrest bail on medical grounds.
Earlier, NAB opposed a plea in accountability court seeking acquittal of Majeed, a key accused in fake bank accounts case.
Majeed was accused of being involved in the fake bank accounts case along with his father, Omni Group Chairman Anwar Majeed, former president Asif Ali Zardari and his sister Faryal Talpur. He was arrested by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) in August 2018.
