Overview
- At a Banking Court hearing in Islamabad, interim bail for PTI CFO Siraj Ahmad and bank employee Faisal Qazi was extended until April 14 with orders that they not be arrested before then.
- The FIA’s special prosecutor, Wasiq Malik, told the court the probe is complete and the challan, or formal charge sheet, is ready for submission at the next hearing.
- The agency has expanded the case by adding two more accused and one witness, reflecting broader alleged foreign funding and money-laundering violations.
- Judge Abdul Ghafoor Kakar presided over the proceedings, and the court recorded that the investigating officer did not appear due to ill health.
- A challan in Pakistan formalizes charges and usually moves a case from inquiry to trial, which could bring Imran Khan and other nominees into a prosecution phase under financial crime and foreign exchange laws.
