Islamabad: In a major blow to Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz, the country's National Accountability Bureau on Thursday arrested former PM Shahid Khaqan Abbasi over his involvement in a corruption scandal in Lahore.
Abbasi is accused of illegally awarding the Liquefied Natural Gas terminal contracts worth Rs 220 billion to a company in which he was shareholder himself.
The PML-N leader was on his way to Lahore to attend a press conference when he was arrested.
