Not long after the return of former prime minister and PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif, a convict, from London on October 21, 2023, another public office holder nominated by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) in a corruption reference, returned home from abroad and surrendered before the Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Monday, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.  

Approving Waqar’s 10-day protective bail, the court barred the NAB, Lahore from arresting him and directed him to appear in Lahore’s accountability court within 10 days.

A two-member bench of the IHC, headed by Chief Justice (CJ) Justice Aamer Farooq, heard the case.

On the last hearing, the court had directed the ex-senator to surrender by November 13.
