Earlier in the day, former president Asif Ali Zardari had challenged a call-up notice issued to him by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).
NAB had earlier on March 16 summoned the father-son duo to appear on March 20 for questioning with regard to an inquiry against them in the wake of allegations that Park Lane Estate Company (PvT) Ltd was behind the illegal transfer of forest land to the firm in collusion with government officials.
According to a NAB spokesperson, Zardari and Bilawal have a stake of 25 percent in Park Lane Estate Company – a Karachi based real estate firm.
