Corruption cases: Two more witnesses record statements against Sharif family

Two more witnesses, Ghulam Mustafa and Yasir Shabbir, recorded their statements against ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif and his family as hearing against them resumed in accountability court. 

Earlier, Nawaz Sharif reached the NAB court along his daughter Maryam Nawaz from Punjab House. Tight security arrangements were made around the court. 

Third witness, Afaq Ahmad, could not record his statement as NAB prosecutor told the court that record from Supreme Court is yet to reach hence court should take break till 10:30.

During the hearing, Ghulam Mustafa told the court that he and Yasir Shabbir appeared before NAB on August 22, 2017. 

"Yasir Shabbir submitted bank details of Nawaz Sharif to NAB," the witness told. 

Furthermore, lawyer of Nawaz Sharif, Khawaj Haris, requested court to give some more time as they have to read supplementary references. 

The hearing was adjourned till January 30.
