LAHORE (Dunya News) – An accountability court has indicted former chief minister Parvez Elahi and others while hearing a corruption case.
The hearing of an alleged corruption case related to development projects in Gujrat was held at the Lahore accountability court. Elahi and other accused pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Accountability Court Judge Rana Arif conducted the proceedings and summoned witnesses of the reference for January 29.
The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) had filed a supplementary reference after the inclusion of two new accused in the case.

The father-son duo has been identified as prime suspects, who, according to the reference, have allegedly received the highest kickbacks among all others, totalling Rs744 million.
