Pakistan: Shahbaz Sharif alleges FIA harassed during interrogation on sugar scandal
Islamabad: Opposition Leader in the National Assembly Shahbaz Sharif has claimed that the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) is harassing him in connection with the investigation into the sugar scandal.
The allegations from the PML-N president came during a hearing at a Lahore court where he had appeared in relation to his bail application, reports The News International.
"The FIA’s investigation team treated me inappropriately and the officers used to engage in pointless conversations. When I asked why they were doing this, the FIA officers kept laughing and making fun of me," he was quoted as saying by the newspaper.
Shahbaz told the court that he and his family suffered a loss of billions of rupees when it comes to operating the Ramzan sugar mills.
“I opposed my family members and provided the commodity to the masses cheaply," he said.
