Pakistan's anti-corruption body on Monday arrested jailed former president Asif Ali Zardari in another corruption case.
He is already in the custody of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) till July 2 in a multi-million dollar money laundering case along with his sister Faryal Talpur.
According to the NAB, the duo made transactions of Rs 150 million through alleged fake bank accounts.
The NAB investigators are of the view that if Zardari's physical remand, which ends on Tuesday, is not extended by the court, they would require another option and could use the arrest warrants in the Park Lane case to keep him in NAB custody for longer, the Dawn newspaper reported.
The 63-year-old co-chairman of the Opposition Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and husband of the country's first woman prime minister Benazir Bhutto was this time arrested in the Park Lane case which is related to the alleged properties in London.
Zardari became the co-chairman of PPP after the assassination of Bhutto in 2007.
His arrest came after he withdrew his interim bail applications filed with the Islamabad High Court against.
Zardari said that he withdrew the plea as the NAB would come up with more fake cases if he was granted bail.
