Islambad, Pakistan: The Sindh High Court has issued notices to relevant parties, seeking explanations for the freezing of bank accounts belonging to former President of Pakistan, Dr. Arif Alvi, and his family.
During the hearing, Dr. Alvi’s lawyer informed the court that the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) had blocked the accounts of the former president, his wife, and children as part of an ongoing investigation.
The court observed that the move had caused significant hardship for the family, making it difficult for them to meet their daily expenses. Dr. Alvi’s counsel, who is representing him pro bono, pleaded for relief.
