NAB to present Faryal Talpur in accountability court today

Leader of Pakistan Peoples Party Faryal Talpur
The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) will present Pakistan Peoples Party leader Faryal Talpur before an accountability court to seek her physical remand for investigation into a case related to money laundering through alleged fake bank accounts.

The corruption watchdog will request the court to remand the PPP leader in its custody for 14 days for questioning.

She is expected to be brought to the court today at 10am.

Talpur’s arrest followed on the heels of her brother, former president Asif Ali Zardari being taken into custody by the anti-graft body earlier this week.

Following her arrest, she was shifted to her Islamabad residence which has been declared a sub-jail to incarcerate her.

A team of doctors conducted medical examination of Talpur at the sub-jail and declared her fit.

A total of twelve lady police personnel have been deployed at Talpur’s residence.

The bureau had issued arrest warrants for Talpur late night on Thursday, days after her brother and PPP co-chairman was arrested in the fake accounts case.

On Monday, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) rejected the two leaders’ bail application in the money laundering case, allowing the NAB to arrest them.

The bureau is probing four cases against the former president and his sister. They both have been named the prime accused in the cases.

The death toll from a powerful earthquake and tsunami in Indonesia leapt to 832 Sunday, as stunned people on the stricken island of Sulawesi struggled to find food and water and looting spread. The new toll announced by the national disaster agency was almost double the previous figure. Indonesian vice-president Jusuf Kalla said the final number of dead could be in the "thousands." "It feels very tense," said 35-year-old mother Risa Kusuma, comforting her feverish baby boy at an evacuation centre in the gutted coastal city of Palu. "Every minute an ambulance brings in bodies. Clean water is scarce. The minimarkets are looted everywhere." Indonesia’s Metro TV on Sunday broadcast footage from a coastal community in Donggala, close to the epicentre of the quake, where some waterfront homes appeared crushed but a resident said most people fled to higher ground after the quake struck. "When it shook really hard, we all ran up into the hills," a ...
