SC summons tax record of Aleema Khan

ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court on Friday sought tax record of Aleema Khan, sister of Prime Minister Imran Khan, in a case related to her properties in Dubai, ARY News reported.

The apex court was informed by a Federal Board of Revenue member that Ms Khan availed the tax amnesty scheme.

The FBR official said amnesty scheme record could be presented on the court orders. The CJP, in his remarks, ordered that the tax details be given to the court, adding “We will look into it.”

Earlier responding to FIA notice, Ms Aleema reportedly told the inquiry officer that she acquired property abroad but now she has sold this asset.

Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif on Wednesday had also demanded of the National Accountability Bureau to investigate the properties of Aleema Khan in Dubai.

Talking informally to reporters at the accountability court in Islamabad, Nawaz said that he is not in habit of doing politics of allegations, but if he stayed silent, opponents claim that he [Nawaz] had made compromises.

“From where Aleema Khan accumulated properties worth billions of rupees. She has no sources of income. She must provide money trail of her properties in Dubai,” said Nawaz.
