LAHORE: The PML-N has issued a sketch showing its president Shahbaz Sharif in solitary confinement in a small detention cell at the National Accountability Bureau, Lahore.

“Shahbaz Sharif has been detained in a 10 x 10 cell. He has been detained for a crime he has not committed. This cell is located in a narrow corridor with seven cells on each side. This sketch is made by a PML-N parliamentarian,” the PML-N said on Tuesday.

NAB spokesperson Nawazish Ali Asim was not available for comment.

Meanwhile, Shahbaz Sharif was shifted from Islamabad to Lahore NAB on Tuesday. He was arrested on Oct 5 by the NAB in the Ashiana case.

He will be produced before an accountability court for further extension of his physical remand on Wednesday (today).

Earlier, he attended the third consecutive session of the National Assembly after his detention when Speaker Asad Qaiser issued his production order.

In his two speeches on the floor of the assembly, Mr Sharif had lashed out at the NAB, alleging that there was an “unholy alliance” between the bureau and the ruling PTI.
