The court has also ordered NAB to file a supplementary reference against all individuals including Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and Shahidul Islam accused in the LNG case on the next hearing.

To this, NAB’s prosecutor responded:

The supplementary reference is in the final phase as the anti-corruption watchdog has got its hand on some new relevant record of the LNG contracts in question, which is being examined.
