PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif appeared before NAB office in Lahore, on Tuesday, where he was questioned for an hour and 15 minutes in the money laundering and assets beyond income cases.
PML-N supporters had crowded the office when Shehbaz reached there. He has acquired a pre-arrest bail from the Lahore High Court till June 17 against a surety bond worth Rs500,000.
