An accountability court on Monday has indicted Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) co-chairman and erstwhile president Asif Ali Zardari in Park Lane and Thatta water supply cases.
During the hearing, the PPP leader has pleaded not guilty in the cases.
The court has also indicted 19 other accused in Park Lane and 15 accused in Thatta water supply references.
Earlier, an accountability court in Islamabad on September 28 indicted former president and Pakistan People's Party (PPP) Co-chairperson Asif Ali Zardari and his sister Faryal Talpur and Omni Group Chairman Khawaja Anwar Majeed in mega money laundering case.
The court had rejected Asif Ali Zardari's plea seeking acquittal in mega money laundering, Park Lane and Thatta water supply references.
The court ordered to indict Zardari in three corruption references against him in money laundering, Park Lane estate and Thatta water supply cases while dismissing his petitions against the aforsaid refereces.
However, his indictment in the other two cases was postponed until October 5 due to the absence of one of the suspects.
