ISLAMABAD: An accountability court in Islamabad will resume today hearing of the fake bank accounts case against former president Asif Ali Zardari, his sister Faryal Talpur and others.

The PPP co-chairman and his sister have arrived at the accountability court amid tight security. Special security arrangements have been made within and around the Judicial Complex housing the NAB court to avoid any untoward incident.

In the previous hearing, two of the accused had submitted an application seeking to become approver in the case against the former president and other accused.

Kiran Aman and Noreen Sultan, employees of a private bank, told the court that they were willing to testify as witnesses and had also submitted a request in this regard with the NAB chairman. They said instead of listing them as witness the bureau had implicated them as accused.
