    Sindh High Court (SHC) rejected the bail appeals of Pakistan People's Party (PPP) leader Sharjeel Memon and other suspects in Information Ministry corruption case.

    According to details, Chief Justice of SHC has ordered to arrest Memon and 13 other suspects. The NAB will arrest them once they will come out of premises of the court.

    The case of Rs 5.76billion corruption in Information Ministry of Sindh is underway against all these individuals. Memon was former Provincial Information Minister.

    Memon, who returned to Pakistan in March this year after ending his near two-year-long self-imposed exile, was arrested on his arrival by NAB but later obtained bail.

    The other accused in the case include former Sindh information secretary Zulfiqar Ali Shalwani, officials of the information department and members of private advertising agencies.

    Memon claims the charges against him are politically motivated.
