Catch prosecutor Imran Shafique documented an application under the steady gaze of responsibility judge Mohammad Bashir expressing that 26 out of 30 witnesses have officially recorded their announcements in the NAB reference against Mr Dar, and the leader of the JIT constituted by the SC to explore previous head administrator Nawaz Sharif and his family would be the arraignment's next witness.
