According to anti-graft watchdog body the warrants for Majeed in an illegal land allotment case were issued on January 28.

Terming the arrest warrants issued for him ‘illegal’, Ghani in his plea has pleaded the court to declare it as null and void.

Ghani Majeed further relayed in his plea that, he is already in the Malir Jail from August 2018, in a case filed by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), but it failed to submit final challan of the case against him.

Fake bank accounts case 

A banking court on January 19 had issued a notice to the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) on an application filed by Omni Group tycoon Anwar Majeed and his son Abdul Ghani Majeed seeking post-arrest bail in the fake bank accounts and money laundering case.

The court had directed FIA to submit its response to the bail plea.

The applicants through their counsel had contended before the court that the agency had failed to produce evidence to corroborate charges against them. “FIA has been taking action against us on political basis.” They, therefore, pleaded to the court to grant them bail.

PPP Co-Chairperson Asif Ali Zardari, his sister Faryal Talpur, close aide Anwar Majeed and others are facing a probe into the money laundering scam involving over Rs35 billion laundered through fake bank accounts.
