After a five-hour meeting, Imran exits NAB.
The PTI leader is being questioned by the accountability bureau for the ‘illegal transfer’ of 190 million pounds related to the Al-Qadir Trust.

RAWALPINDI: Islamabad. In connection with the case renamed from the “Al-Qadir Trust reference” to the “National Crime Agency £190 million scandal,” PTI chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan was questioned for over five hours on Tuesday at the NAB’s Rawalpindi headquarters.
Sources say that the ex-prime minister was given the pertinent documents and asked to respond the next time he met with a team of five NAB investigators led by the anti-graft body’s director general.
They further stated that the PTI leader did not have adequate paperwork or proof to support his claims. According to NAB sources, the probe is still in its infancy at this point, so it’s best not to make any assumptions.
They continued by saying the PTI chairman would be given a fair chance to defend his innocence.
Imran filled up the NAB questionnaire during the interrogation.
The anti-graft authority published a statement that addressed why it had not issued a summons for Bushra Bibi, the ex-premier’s wife.
Twenty questions about the “illegal” transfer of £190 million were recorded from Imran’s interrogation by the NAB.
In addition to freezing orders for £190 million, the anti-corruption commission had requested documents of Imran’s correspondence with the British National Crime Agency (NCA).
The PTI leader was also questioned about the university’s fundraising efforts.
Al-Qadir Trust and the defendants’ company’s trust deed records were also requested.
The Al-Qadir Trust, which is run by Imran and his wife, is also accused of receiving large donations from the accused, according to NAB.
Imran reportedly told the NAB team that he did not have access to the record of Britain’s NCA and that the record of the judgement pertaining to £190 million was with the Cabinet Division.
The information about Al-Qadir Trust, he said, has been sent to NAB.
The PTI leader’s wife and kids’ bank account information has been requested by NAB as well.
Security personnel followed Imran as he left the building.
The NAB building in Rawalpindi was heavily guarded in preparation for the former prime minister’s arrival.
In eight cases filed by the federal capital police over protests, vandalism, and violations of Section-144 of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC), the PTI chairman was granted temporary release till June 8 by an anti-terrorism court (ATC) earlier in the day.
Imran’s applications for temporary bail in connection with the FIRs filed at different Islamabad police stations were heard by ATC judge Raja Jawad Abbas.
For the alleged theft of hundreds of canals of land in the name of Al-Qadir University Trust, which resulted in a loss of £190 million to the national exchequer, NAB opened an inquiry into Imran, his wife Bushra Bibi, and others.
The former prime minister and others are accused of misappropriating Rs50 billion, equivalent to £190 million at the time, sent by the British NCA to the Pakistani government.
They are accused of taking advantage of the government in order to establish Al-Qadir University on more than 458 kanals of land in Mouza Bakrala, Sohawa.
The settlement with Britain’s crime agency was approved by Imran’s cabinet on December 3, 2019, while the terms of the accord are classified.
It was agreed to present the tycoon’s financial case to the Supreme Court.
Protests erupted all throughout Pakistan after scores of Rangers agents kidnapped Imran on May 9 from the grounds of the Islamabad High Court in connection with the case.
But on May 11 the Supreme Court stepped in and saved the day, ruling that his arrest was “illegal” and mandating that he be released.
The Islamabad High Court issued a stay of arrest for the PTI leader on May 12, preventing his detention in any case across Pakistan until May 15.
In the Al-Qadir Trust case, it also released the PTI leader on interim bail for two weeks.
