Author: Daily Times Monitor

The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has requested the Ministry of Interior to ‘cancel’ former prime minister Nawaz Sharif’s passport and ‘block’ his national identity card, a private TV channel reported on Friday.

The NAB Rawalpindi has written to the ministry, asking the authorities to cancel the aforesaid documents of the PML-N supremo for his absence from the court and especially after being declared a proclaimed offender by an accountability court.

“In view thereof, copies of the said court order and perpetual non-bailable warrant of arrest are forwarded for processing of blacklisting/cancellation of the passport and blockage / impounding of CNIC of the accused through the Ministry of Interior,” read a letter addressed to the NAB headquarter from its Rawalpindi office.

Sources in the ministry have confirmed that the letter was received, also adding that the anti-graft body has recommended that Interpol (the International Criminal Police Organization) be approached to arrest Nawaz Sharif.
