According to sources, the Sindh High Court (SHC) has extended the pre-arrest bail of Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader Nisar Khuhro in a case allegedly involved in wheat procurement.

Nisar Khuhro, as well as the other suspects in the case, appeared in the Sindh High Court. The lawyer for the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) informed the court that an investigation against the PPP stalwart and other suspects was underway and requested additional time from the court.

While extending Nisar Khuhro’s pre-arrest bail, the court directed the National Bureau of Investigation to conduct a complete investigation into the accused by September 28 and provide a progress report.
