According to sources, Malik is likely to tell about the Sharif’s family involvement in the Hudaibiya Paper Mills case before JIT.

Malik had claimed earlier in a press conference that he will record his statement with full freedom before the JIT.

Moreover, the JIT has also summoned Nawaz Sharif’s son-in-law, Captain (retd) Muhammad Safdar, on June 24, according to sources.

In its probe, the JIT has recorded statements of several members of the Sharif family, including Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, his brother Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif and his sons; Hassan and Hussain.

The JIT will submit its complete investigation report to the Supreme Court’s special implementation bench on July 10.
