LAHORE: A banking court in Lahore today extended the pre-arrest bail of PML(N) leader and Leader of Opposition in National Assembly Shahbaz Sharif and his son Hamza Shahbaz till December 11 in a money laundering case.
At today’s hearing, PML-N President Shahbaz Sharif told the court that he has nothing to do with Ramzan Sugar Mills as the mill was owned by his father.
