The allegations against Ashraf date back to his tenure as Power Minister. On Wednesday, the apex court directed NAB to arrest Ashraf and other suspects. NAB chief Fasih Bokhari told the court yesterday that he lacked evidence to make arrests. Bokhari said investigators had not uncovered enough evidence against any of the suspects. PTI
