KARACHI – Sindh High Court (SHC) on Monday rejected the bail pleas for former provincial information minister Sharjeel Memon and 12 others in a graft case.

SHC rejected Sharjeel Memon’s plea seeking removal of his name from ECL
According to sources, it is illegal to detain an accused within the premises of the court; nevertheless, a NAB team has been on standby outside the court to arrest Memon as soon as he leaves.
The suspects are indicted for corruption worth Rs5.76 billion in the allocations of advertisements for the Sindh government’s electronic media awareness campaigns.
Memon ended his nearly two-year-long self-imposed exile by returning to Pakistan in March this year, where he was arrested on his arrival by NAB but was later released on bail.
The other involved in the case include former Sindh information secretary Zulfiqar Ali Shalwani, members of private advertising firms and officials of the information department.
