Three accused including Bilal Sheikh, Tariq Ahsan and Nadeem Altaf were produced before AC-I Judge Muhammad Bashir by NAB officials.

NAB prosecutor pleaded before court that accused Tariq Ahsan had planned a fraud in 2016.

He said that the accused with the connivance of Bilal and Altab had facilitated loan worth Rs 840 million to unnamed companies of Omni Group.
