ISLAMABAD: Strict security measures have been finalised at the accountability court where Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leaders Asif Ali Zardari and Faryal Talpur will appear in the money laundering case on Monday (tomorrow).
As many as 2,000 police personnel will be stationed along with 200 personnel from Punjab Rangers.
