An accountability court has issued a summons to former prime minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf for his alleged role in rental power scam. The plea regarding the acquittal of Shaukat Tarin caused a delay in the proceedings of the court. The judge of the Accounta-bility Court, Mohammed Bashir, heard the graft case in Peran Ghaib and Sahiwal Rental Power Projects.
Ex-secretary establishment Ismail Qureshi and former finance minister Shaukat Tarin filed a plea for their acquittal which delayed indictment against the main accused. All the three accused, including Raja Pervaiz Ashraf, have been asked by the court to appear before it on June 3.
