It is noteworthy that the PML-N leader is also facing a drug case. He was released on bail in December last year, almost six months after his arrest in July. The Lahore High Court (LHC) had granted him bail against surety bonds worth Rs1 million.

Rana Sanaullah is named in an FIR related to the violence outside the NAB Lahore office during arrival of PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz there in August last.
