SBP report claims Zainab’s suspected killer has no bank accounts

A report was submitted to Federal Investigation Agency(FIA) on Friday by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), in which it was revealed that Imran Ali, the key suspect in Zainab’s murder case, has no foreign currency bank accounts.

According to local media reports, sources in the FIA said that the agency itself has not found any bank accounts of Imran.

He further claimed that Imran has 37 foreign currency bank accounts and that a federal minister and a politician were supporting him.
