An accountability court has issued non-bailable arrest warrants for Zain Malik, son-in-law of real estate tycoon Malik Riaz, in a case pertaining to alleged illegal amalgamation of commercial land to the Bahria Town for a multi-storey building in Karachi. However, the judge turned down the request and issued non-bailable arrest warrants for Malik. The judge deferred indictment of Kamal, Rehman and others in the case till Oct 9. The reference also named five builders — Zain Malik, Mohammad Dawood, Mohammad Yaqoob, Mohammad Irfan and Mohammad Rafiq — all associated with M/s DJ Builders and Developers. Subsequently, the relevant accountability court in Rawalpindi had also approved his plea bargain settlement with NAB in those matters, the counsel maintained.
